@XFaGgYX No, I forgot to ask for the guy's name. I'm happy that you like the video!

Exceptional video that captured a good "art-night-out" in NYC. I always condsidered Billy Childish a cross between Edvard Munch & Vincent Van Gogh. Many of the patrons were as interesting as some of the paintings. Thanks for all you do!!

@destroyer820 Thank you! Ialso liked the dog!

@diskochimp I agree, I'm sure his work is just getting better and better. He stands for purity, tradition and dedication to art, rare things indeed in this fickle age of art trends and fads!

Long may he continue, he's a super character.

I've been a fan of Billy's work for many years, & can honestly say that, for me, this new series of paintings is his finest to date. Very simple, very beautiful...

Billy Childish is a brilliant fellow and I wish him all the best. Long may he continue making his art.
