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.

I love how the form of the diesel engine and cars are given more heft by the voluminous swirls of smoke and dust. I'll take your paintings of blight and snapshots of reality over Kincade's paintings of fluff and fakery any day.
Alizarin C in that smoke? Great painting to take us into '09! Best to you....
Very nice colors and the brush strokes as always!
Happy new year!
Dynamite Bill. Is it 2008 heading down the tracks or 2009 rolling in? All the best to you in the New Year from snow covered Maine.
The great plumes of smoke remind me of a Buster Keaton film. Happy New Year!
