Erdman has an impressive rate of production and he makes each piece very affordable. I could see one of these in a simple black frame in a interior made up of select pieces of mod furniture. I love how deadpan most of his work is and if you look around his site I'd recommend reading the descriptions as well - he has quite the sense of humor. For that matter, even the titles themselves are funny; "CATCH With Gorbachev's Big Head", "Young Michael Jackson With A Squirrel In His Hair", "Tragedy In Dessert City" - just to name a few.

I looked through nearly every painting on his site and had quite a bit of trouble picking out a few to highlight because there's so many highlights. It's light-hearted pop-influenced art with ridiculously affordable prices. You can get one of his paintings for less the price of an evening out. Support artists - he's got everything from pigeons, to Saddam Hussein, to a depiction of tug a war with a giant squirrel. Great stuff. Check out his site here:
