“Bring your sunglasses” is what Ty Williams warned about his newest body of work. Ty has created his latest series using bright colors inspired from places he’s lived-the Caribbean up to his current home in Maine. Ty’s site specific paintings are mostly painted onto wood surfaces and incorporate his signature detailed style. Drawing from a childhood influence, Dr. Seuss, Ty’s new, whimsical works include such varied subject matter as animals, fish, people, and cityscapes. These works are both meant to make you think, or simply smile. He often works an abstracted first layer, followed with a strong illustrative line finish. “It’s 80s music video meets New England,” claims Ty.

the south and the junk i did….

i have been M.I.A lately (not the musician), i have been in Florida and lurking up and down the east coast, driving and eating when i can.
While in Florida i saw great friends and crashed on a few couches, i painted to get cash to eat and i surfed when the waves were up, and they were a couple times!!! Now that im home…I am on the grind like never before…i am painting in my studio and looking forward to a few shows i have coming up. Once again if anyone would like to get ahold of me to do work or shout sweet somethings, please email me at bienworld@yahoo.com.
enjoy these pics..


aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this kid was next door to where i was staying and one day came and played for us….pretty unreal.

I have painted so many fish lately its out of control, i enjoy them though.





with some friends, i saw LESLIE HALL….she is nuts, after i saw her perform i saw her on YO GABBA GABBA, the raddest show for little kids on cable TV.

once back in NH, i went to ELLO for their recent show called NATURE SUPERNATURE….and i was pretty impressed…but it could have been the jungle juice.

Today I sat in the yard and read the miranda july book “no one belongs here more than you”….im learning how to enjoy reading and its going well.
Im a huge magazine enthusiast but books after high school and college felt like work. Select stuff im finding now is really making me amped to find more good books that are fun and simple to read (i’ve got some heavy ADD)

Im also eager to get some new t-shirts made for paperrootclothing (we need some fresh stuff and i have a ton of material, so stay tuned . Even though im here i am getting ready for some upcoming projects and am super excited to post some things when i get back to my NH studio. Hope everyone is well and staying warm. THERE HAS BEEN GOOD SURF EVERYWHERE ON THE EAST COAST LATELY…. i hope everyone is getting some…it feels so nice to get in the water sometimes….even if its windy, crusty, ankle slappers.

THE ELLO DOOM SHOW/ purchase online!!!!!!! (if you can’t make it you goober)

The Ello gallery in Portsmouth NH, recently opened the Doom show which was meant to showcase pieces from artists that in some way portray an element of DOOM or what it means to them. Even though you might not make it to the show, you can still purchase a piece here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! online www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8982224

I created a bunch of small pieces that represented the unlucky prompt and did so with some bright colors so as to convey the message that although DOOM does exist, how we perceive it is much more important.

the show runs at ELLo until the end of the month. I also am moving into a new studio which im excited about and will surely keep everyone posted on.
