The Many Moods of Bill (William) Wray
Many of you know Bill Wray from his outrageously masterful artwork for Ren and Stimpy and Samurai Jack. But he has a completely independent career as a fine artist, creating subtle and moody oil paintings inspired by Masters of American Illustration like N.C. Wyeth and J.C. Leyendecker. He is particularly fond of industrial landscapes. A selection of his paintings is currently on exhibit at the Segil Fine Art gallery in Monrovia, California, through August 9th.

If you’d like a dose of the wackier side of Wray, you can check out these links…
…his animation site, Big Blown Baby, and his animation blog, Mad About Cartoons. The blog is not updated often, as Wray is concentrating on his painting, but there’s some wonderful archived art, including a tremendous collection of Samurai Jack background paintings.

Calm or crazed, Bill Wray’s work is always top notch!
