I did a four page report on him for my Art II final. My teacher loved it. Was one of the best teachers I've ever had, actually. Before teaching, he got fired from Disneyland for drawing "controversial" pictures on the walls after being asked to stop. Used to do street art shows/sales and everything - rather successful, too. Put one on for our class at the end of the year. Great artist and a great guy. Wish I had known more about Warhol when I did the report, though, as I knew next to nothing when I started.
I watched that VU documentary a while ago, but I'll definitely check out the Warhol one after I get some reading done.
