'Chocolate Orange' and BF's favourite, 'Caligula'.

by **bluegrace** » Fri Nov 25, 2011 1:28 pm

Chocolate Orange is one of my fave, and Warning/Delight.

great choices.

my friend has the 'caligula' print. it always reminded me of the 'porcupine' album cover for some reason. maybe because it's my favorite buns album, maybe because it's like a close up version of the waterfall in iceland. not sure.

i bought the 'warning/delight' print and it's stunning. it almost looks like canvas from the paper he had it printed on.

Ooh! Which ones? I am green with envy!

I'm sure there was, I was jesting as there really wasn't anything happening when I looked. A really annoying advert for computers kept cropping up when I made return visits so I gave up.... neeeww I want to go faster.... Webcams aren't really my thing (not that sort of webcam usage anyway...).

VB gave a glowing report, which is good enough for me, so I'm sure in reality it was great. And I'll look at Will's pics I think he has posted up on twitter. Wouldn't minded going myself, but bit too far for an art exhibition. Hope he brings it south.

funny sarge quote:

from this interview do we have this already?

bit of a change from the mr grumpy interviews he was giving whilst doing bunnymen stuff a few years back. Wonder if mac's been round.

Great stuff. Penny Lane is very similar in size to that Movie Poster Gallery thing I was able to check out yesterday. Pretty obvious which one is more impressive.

i really liked this interview. it's quite clear that he is constantly struggling with freedom and restriction.

wonder if his paintings wouldn't feel so rigid if he did let go of the control once in a while.

looking forward to seeing the exhibition soon.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch too. Didn't get to speak to Will but did speak to Christine, the gallery owner. She put on a great night, lots to drink and gorgeous food. Loads of people turned up so it was difficult to see Will's art properly so I went again this week. Will's art looks fantastic altogether in one place like that, it's a great gallery space. Christine mentioned that Will may be doing a meet and greet there on the afternoon of the gigs. Will try and find out more and post the info.

I think this is what you're referring to? I'll get over there on the Saturday hopefully.

I hate feeling jealous of you peeps who can go to this. One of these days, I will make it to Liverpool and make Will my BFF.

Yes, that's it. Am sure it will be a great opportunity to speak to Will in person and chat about his art.

There's some cool pics on this site of Will's art at the Mr. Brainwash Show in L.A. Great to see that he works in all kinds of mediums.

Really looking forward to hearing his solo album as well.
