Howard Finster's Paradise Garden

Today I went to Harold Finster's Paradise Garden outside Chattanooga, Tennessee. He started creating art out of junk at the age of 59. Some of his most famous works are album covers for REM, and Talking Heads. His art was featured in numerous magazines and and WSJ called him the "Andy Warhol of the South"
He died a few years ago and recently his hometown of Summerville began to restore his Paradise Garden to its former glory.
