FYD: If you were teaching a history class; what period would you cover?
WL: I’d do a class about music history and share what I have learned about it. Music has always been a major part of my life. My folks are very involved in the jazz world, so they started taking me to concerts right after I was born. I’m lucky to have had that environment to grow up in.
FYD: If you were to rewrite a single moment in history; what would you write?
WL: I’d have to say I would have changed the outcome of the last presidential election. Sad, sad state we are in these days. There is a very scary man “running” this country right now. His negative impact on the country will be felt for generations to come. My opinion has nothing to do with race. Many people have accused me of being racist, it’s just not true. I don’t care what color or gender someone is, as long as they treat me with respect I treat them with respect. act like an asshole get treated like an asshole.FYD: What were you like as a kid?
WL: Pretty much the same, I did a lot of drawing. Snoopy, skulls, tits, Battlestar Galactica. I grew up in the 70’s, there were a lot of great images coming in the mail back then. Sears catalog, Toys R’ Us catalog etc… I would collect these things and draw from them. My process is almost the same now as back then. Finding information and doing something new with it. My best friends parents divorced and he lived with his dad. His house was filled with Playboys and Penthouse. I was looking at them way too young, like 4 years old. That explains a lot about me, hahaha. I stole one once and got busted by my Dad in my room looking at it. Oops. Anyway, I would draw the girls and the adverts were great to get inspiration from.
