[chleseaboy]

Is anyone familiar with Billys work? I would be interested to hear what people have to say or what pieces they may have of his.

[jonnyx]

i love billy childish as an artist, poet and musician. the only print i've got is the cheapo i have cheated my own hart fom aquarium, i've also got a few of the small rubber stamp pieces. quite a few albums and the books to quick and the hart rises, from wayback when they were first published and more recently (a few years ago) i got the ltd notebooks of a naked youth and the boss of all english riters and a signed notes of a hangman.

did you ever see the channel 4 art show programme on him a few years ago? good stuff.

[Neverwork]

[Art-el]

Billy Childish is a legend and his influence both musically, artistically and literary over the last 20 years is EPIC. He is God like Genius.

Convenientley airbrused and exiled from Ms Emins biography. Her confessional art, influenced, replicated even stolen from Childish!?!

His work you may not dig, his legacy and influence paint a very different tale

A cult figure in America, Europe and Japan, Billy Childish is by far the most prolific painter, poet, and song-writer of his generation. In a twenty year period he has published over 40 collections of his poetry, recorded over 100 full-length independent LP’s and produced over 2000 paintings.

Born in 1959 in Chatham, Kent. Billy Childish left Secondary education at 16 an undiagnosed dyslexic. Refused an interview at the local art school he entered the Naval Dockyard at Chatham as an apprentice stonemason. During the following six months (the artist’s only prolonged period of employment), he produced some six hundred drawings in ‘the tea huts of hell. On the basis of this work he was accepted into St Martin’s School of Art to study painting. However, his acceptance was short-lived and before completing the course he was expelled for his outspokenness and unorthodox working methods. With no qualifications and no job prospects Childish then spent some 12 years ‘painting on the dole’, developing his own highly personal writing style and producing his art independently.
