Perhaps one of the most original and witty artists I have found since I wondered at the wit of Banksy has to be Harland Miller. He basically reproduces book covers, noteably Penguin, on canvas and substitutes titles for his own somewhat raw phrases. I think the shock factor is part of the fun. And no, these aren't actual books, although his portfolio does state that he is a "writer and artist." http://www.harlandmiller.com/
