Butcher Billy's profile

The Butcher's Chicago Art Show | All Star Press Gallery


As a graphic designer with more than a decade working in the advertising industry, I never thought of myself as an artist - never felt comfortable with that label. I guess the subjectivity of art made me sink, hopelessly, in the boring corporate side of the creative business. I didn't even realize when professional frustration led me to develop a separate persona, or entity - a different kind of animal, that may have always lived inside me, impatiently waiting to break free. It would only come out at night, to fulfill all of my deepest and unknown artistic pleasures. A Dr. Jekyl/Mr.Hyde, or Banner/Hulk relationship, if you will, had to be established, in order for the both of us to coexist - until the hedonistic pop art beast violently took control. It all led to this:

I am Butcher Billy, and this is my Freakiest Show.
