So things are looking up and I am dreadfully sorry for not being better with my blog. Sorry blog, it'll never happen again. And to you all you Internet Enthusiasts, I hope you enjoy this post. More drawings, sculptures, and other artworks soon to follow!

Summer's almost gone, here's some art

Here's some art I did over the summer. I've also decided to make a graphic novel based on my life and have planned out an entire chapter/intro/prologue. More on that later. Other than that, I'm going to be starting school soon, work on my gods series, make some more paper sculptures (gods, goddesses, and possibly a life-size t-rex skeleton), and possibly some more tv and computer work like you see here. Anyways, hope the Internet and the arts are treating everyone well and you are all having a wonderful summer.

Long time, no posts...

Title of the post says it all. I've been busy. Here's some art to compensate for ignoring you art and Internet enthusiasts.

Sneak Peek

Hey,

Just wanted to show you Art and Internet enthusiasts a sneak peak into what I'm working on. I've been bad and focusing more on my studies than my artwork right now so you're gonna have to bite the bullet here. Anyways, small sneak peak into my god drawings.

Pics from Paper Bones Show

Hey!

Here are some pics from my first solo show at what's called the Brief Gallery (established by Robert Clements). Most interesting show I've been a part of especially with regards to the audience and the relational aspects to the show. Anyways, enough typing, here's some pics! Enjoy!

Q: Two shows this week? A: Hell yes

Hey Internet and Art enthusiasts,

I have two shows this week at York University. One is a group show with a bunch of super talented drawing students that are pushing the boundaries of drawing itself! The other is a bit more "out there" where I will be putting in my paper skeleton into a study room of the scott library for a short period of time. I think this should be really awesome on account the art is in a section of the campus not occasionally open to this type of art work. Should be a good time. Anyways, the drawing show will be open all week in the Gales Gallery and my library show known as Paper Bones will be happening Wednesday the 10th from 12PM to 2:30PM (you can only book off these study rooms for so long). Well, hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Billy

Here are some pics of the Los Rechazados show I was in last week with Anahita Loghmanifar, Samantha Madonik, Joshua Vettivelu, and Andrea White. Also, just wanna say thanks to all who came out. Really appreciate it, thanks again
