Andre Miripolsky born 1951, in Paris, France is an American pop artist based in Los Angeles, California. He attended the California Institute of the Arts where he honed his style. However, he left the institution after two years and briefly pursued an acting career before dedicating himself to visual art full-time. His art career began with the design of Elton John's piano jacket in 1980, and is best known for his "Fear No Art" button, album covers, the “Miripolsky Barbie”, and Absolut Vodka illustrations. He also painted the backdrops for the Tonight Show hosted by Jay Leno. This ultimately led to working with other musicians including Cheap Trick, Bette Midler, Quincy Jones, and the Rolling Stones and he created the brand imagery for Bud Light, Mattel, Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, and many others.
