American Artist Mike Stilkey has always had a love for art, but no formal training.  He paints on vintage paper, record covers, book pages and book covers. He uses a mix of ink, colored pencil, paint and lacquer to create his pieces.  Stilkey takes the different items from the rubbish pile and in the case of the books, even though the covers are painted, the content can still be read.
