Walt Paper

"A dragon fly with a scorpion tail"

Walt Paper was in the centre of the New York City Club Kids in the 90s and became well known for his contribution towards art and fashion. He went on to form a metal band with a group of other club kids and would create elaborate costumes to wear. He is now known as Walt Cassidy and is now a contemporary artist based in New York.

When pinning away on pinterest I noticed that a few images were of the same person, that's how I came across Walt and he inspired me massivley when creating my contemporary image.  I've mentioned that The Emcee reminds me of a clown like character and that's how I think Walt Papers look comes across.
