  "I've had plenty of arguments with the work and I always end up losing. [...] The work knows what it wants to be." Beautiful :) I love thiese videos!

  I just saw this title and stopped by to say, emphatically; yes. Before Bisley, before computers were any good at making art... We saw Bill's work and it stopped us in our tracks. New mutants, Elektra, Toasters... Man you're the greatest. A Ralph Steadman who tells stories in long form. Taught me how NOT to draw the Marvel way.

  Will you have fans of  Bill's art in 100 years. Absolutely you will.   We all know Art is subjective but comic book art is fine art to me and we are critics of the art we grow up with and loved. From Bill  Sienkiewicz to Geoff Darrow, I love to see new art that has been inspired by them.

  There are two types of creatives I&apos;ve come across.<br><br>The first type has a clear vision of exactly how it should work, with every last detail realized in their heads, and the work is how to make that manifest with the limitations of not being a god.<br><br>The second type seem to be decoding alien transmissions where there are dropouts and the ideas are muddled and not everything makes sense, but unless an attempt at translation is made, you&apos;re not going to get much sleep.<br><br>I&apos;ve always been in awe of the former, with the crystalline vision of how it should be while I try to make sense of the pieces of string and scribbled lines of what could be.

  A masterpieces in the medium. Read them as a kid when they came out, enchanted me. Re-read them over the decades. Continue to be amazed.

  I&apos;m a self-proclaimed art snob and artist. I&apos;m 51 years old and was trained the University route. I was taught and believed comic book art was inferior and not worth discussing in class.<br>I met my boyfriend in college in 1994. We were both art majors. His background <b>was</b> in comic book art. Professors were condescending and hateful about it to the point that he dropped out.<br>Ultimately, he introduced me to your art. I could not believe your work was categorized, labeled, as comic book art, and I had never been exposed to it. I still can&apos;t believe it.<br>It&apos;s fierce❣️ It&apos;s eye candy. It delights my eyes. You and your art are among my top 10. Thank you. 🙏🏼❤️‍🔥😍

  Bill, you and your art are an absolute gift to humanity. <br>I finally got my hands on your book &apos;Revolution &apos;, and after reading it 3 times and thumbing through the art more times than I can count, I would describe you as A ONE MAN ARMY.<br>You have so many weapons (techniques) in your arsenal, and no matter the weapon you choose, you execute perfectly each time. <br><br>To anyone who doesn&apos;t own &apos;Revolution &apos;, you NEED this book.

  You’re the master Bill. You are running your own race. On a whole new plateau.
