If Thomas Kincaid is the painter of light, I'm the painter of blight. Whether it's old an Drive–in or trailer park, trains or sun bleached Gremlins, my subjects are bound to be demoed, towed to the junkyard or explode when the Meth chemicals combust. As a founding member of the L.A. River School of Urban Impressionism, I chronicle the fast disappearing pockets or industry, urban decay and run down rural areas. Places most consider not worth remembering, let alone turning them into works of art.

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.

Wow, that's a great painting and yeah, I too get a "future"-feeling from it. ^_^
That building in the background has a strong animation feel to it (which I like). A heroic cityscape!
LOVE the redesign of the LAPAPA and Sedona ads! I got a chuckle from them. See you in Laguna!
Cool effects!
No wonder nobody messes with us when we're out on photo-safari. You look a little scarey in those postcard images, like you just stepped out of a dimly lit biker-bar after busting somebody's chops!
I like the Art Biker Gang look - I think you pull it off well - but I'm not sure about the art direction of the banners/flyers.
A floating head doesn't seem to work. I'd like to see the neck and shoulders there on the first one.
For the other one... It looks like you're peering into the frame.
Both head shots look like after thoughts, placement wise. Also, a bit cartoony, which I know you're moving away from in these shows.
Dan your so serious. these were jsut thrown together with humor in mind.
thanks Fabian!
I love Antonio Lopez, but I think he got a more grey realist outlook no?
thanks Idle-- I was really trying to pretty it up.
thanks Honey!
Ah. I get it!
BTW, another top notch painting. Another "new" favorite!
yes, is true, you are much colorist.
i like very much the one and the other. see you EL SOL DEL MEMBRILLO?(THE SUN OF QUINCE TREE, MORE OR LESS IN ENGLISH), THE FILM OF THE ANTONIO LOPEZ PAINTING. ITS GREAT.
THANKS FOR YOU COMENT IN MY BLOG.IS A HONOR, I AM HAPPY FOR THIS!!!JE
AND SORRY MY BAD ENGLISH
A GREETING

Love the colors and monumental feel of this one. It also has that eerie feeling you get in most big cities when there are not a lot of people/cars around. Early weekend morning NYC is great for that.
This is one gorgeous painting. I'm going to mark down these dates.
We almost went to Sedona a couple weeks back but didn't make it.
And I would love to see your work in person, at Laguna...
the "mood" of that painting is incredible.
The silver frame you asked about on my blog is from a company called Fine Arts located at 13 Autry, Irvine (www.forfinearts.com). They sell frames wholesale but you have to have a resale cert. They also have a huge selection of some awful Giclee' art at really cheap prices. It's good for a laugh.
Great painting -- many good adventures to you on the road!
Wonderful depiction of the city!
That cityscape at the top is phenomenal, the kind of work that inspires.
Holy Moses!
I just keep coming back to this painting - SO dramatic... like angels are about to sing. That little red car dead center in the bottom is just odd enough to give it the "Classic Wray Slightly Uncomfortable Feel". I love it.

running way behind on my replies I hope eveyone forgives me but can I just give a blanket thaks this time?
I used to live in Sedona; lovely area. Little known fact: it's located in Coconino County, the home of Krazy Kat in the old comic strip (spelled Kokonino there, of course). Looking at the red rocks, it's easy to see what inspired Krazy's rocky backgrounds. Sedona was also the site of some of the filming on Karate Kid, Midnight Run, and doubtless other films.
I hope you'll enjoy the festival, and bring back some lovely paintings!
Ha! Great peeking in Poster. and as always beautiful paintings.
Are you selling prints of this because this is what good painting is all about. The colors and tones and shadow shapes!! I'm always in awe my friend!!
