BILL (William  J.) GIRARD (JR.)

6/8/1940 - 2/5/2011


A Motor City Master

Title unknown. Ballpoint pen sketch. Artist: Bill (William J.) Girard. Royal Oak, MI 1940 - 2011

Bill loved to play with mud

"Paint," he said, "is just colored mud." 


He lived to play in the mud!  


His mud could be witty. Irreverent. Sexy. But - hey - so much fun.

Uh, oh: Art!

Nope. Just pictures. Stories told in mud. Throw in a dancing line, some set design, wit and impassioned craftsmanship and you get... all this: a love letter to a master artist. From Detroit to Detroit.

Few of the images shared here were captured by professional photographers...

with access to controlled lighting,  studio conditions and sufficient time to do their best work.


Most these images were shared by "Friends of Bill."   

 


Hopefully, the power of the pieces transcends the flaws of their presentation. 



To put this in perspective, little about Bill’s life was ideal – aside from his work,  his work ethic and kind heart. Why should this be any different?


OPT IN!
