Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media. Joey Potts studied illustration and painting at the Maryland Institute, College of Art. Potts works with a wide variety of media to create illustrations, animations, graphic prints and collage for apparel, posters, album covers, music videos, and limited edition prints. His influences include classic cartoons and animation, skateboarding, Renaissance Art, toys, religious iconography, Abstract Art, science fiction, movies, Psychedelic Art, music, and natural phenomena. Potts also creates fine artworks for gallery shows and exhibitions worldwide. He currently lives and works out of the basement of a tiny coach house in Chicago.
