Behind the Paint is a 2003 autobiographical book written by Joseph Bruce (Violent J), better known as half of the Detroit, Michigan horrorcore group Insane Clown Posse . Rather than focus solely on the evolution of Insane Clown Posse, this book cover's Bruce's entire life up until 2002. It also introduces the experiences of Bruce which lead to his philosophies on life, as well as explaining the reason why each Insane Clown Posse album and EP reads "Dedicated to the butterfly."
