After smashing our Kickstarter fundraising goal, we are on our way to having “Strange Dreams” produced.

Strange Dreams will be an exquisite work of art in itself. It will be a heavy, vegan leather hardcover book, embossed and decorated in gold. 9x12", with 200+ heavyweight pages featuring Full-page prints of Bill's paintings in true-to-life color and reproduction quality. The book should be produced during March 2025 and be shipping out by June or July 2025.

Concerning the origins of the "Strange Dreams" series, these little gouache paintings are based on dream-like visuals that are meant to share emotional content. These experiments started at a time when some disturbing things were going on in the world. Although it was not conscious or deliberate, those events seemed to find their way into this series. I have always been fascinated with dark dream-visuals that sometimes seep into your subconscious, and in this series of paintings, I tried to put those strange dreams down on paper. From My Dreams To Yours.

     All of the paintings are done in gouache on watercolor paper. The series at first had some finishing touches in photoshop but moved quickly toward solely traditional mediums. They’re an ongoing experiment with medium and composition and the potent nature of dreams. I think there are no deep dark hidden secrets. It’s just fun to play with the emotions art can generate. I believe color is really emotion. Color choices are made to reinforce those emotions. To me there’s a sense of poetry in the playful use of surreal elements. I now have ten years worth of these paintings and think it would be fitting to put them into a tome of sorts.
