Bill Wray is trying to make the transition fine art but is known as a cartoonist, a background painter/ Art director and sometimes animation director. This will be the place he post his ocasional animation and cartooning work and also be a place to bitch or wax sentimentally about cartoons in general. It’s been a love and hate relationship for many years and the long journey may not be quite over.

It’s been a love and hate relationship for many years and the long journey may not be quite over.
After traveling his entire childhood as an Army brat Bill Wray began working in the animation business as a teen-ager. Being mostly self-taught and shunning California’s conceptual oriented art schools, he eventually enrolled in The Art Students League located in New York to reinforce his spotty art foundation. Bill went on to work in writing and drawing comic books, animation and illustration. He is mostly known for his painting style on the Ren and Stimpy Show, his work in Mad Magazine and his collaborations with Mike Mignola on Hellboy Jr. Bill is currently concentrating on fine art oil painting.

Proving yet again that you're the master of the cartoon closeup.

That's some awesome tighty-whitey rot!

Espectaculares las pinturas! Su estilo es exelente, muchas gracias por toda la inspiracion!! Saludos y gracias de nuevo!!
I sure can see your mark on The Ren and Stimpy Show. These images are super gross. Hard to look at a bit. Where did that thing's nipple go? Was it self-inflicted, maliciously removed, or perhaps the result of some horrible accident? He needs a hug.
Hahaha, the sucker and the dollar bill. I think I find these so appealing because it's hard to find really competent painters out there with a great sense of humor like you got. Dunno why, but most painters that I know are serious folk with frown wrinkles on their face.
What're your materials of choice for stuff like this? Acrylics on illustration board?
this is bob sponge with some beers ??? jeje
