Frequently Asked Questions

How many days a week did you draw for the R&B?
Five.

Was it hard?
Yes.

Did they pay you?
Yes.

How much?
None of your damn business.

Why did you quit?
Wanted to know what free afternoons are like.

Do you still draw for anyone?
Yep, like, everybody, man.

How do you come up with your ideas?
When I was doing missionary work in Brazil I found myself on a vision quest in the rainforest. The shaman handed me a cup of ayahuasca brew and within seconds everything I’d ever known or felt came back in a flood of fractalized visions. I feverishly began recording these visions in my handy moleskine. These visions are what you see.

Can I have your baby?
Gimme a link to yo Tumblr and we’ll see.

I like paintings. Do you paint?
Not really, aside from watercoloring if the project calls for color.

I really liked one you did a few days ago. Can I buy the original?
Yes. I need money. Just contact billrich [AT] uga [dot] edu and give me the specific date it ran (or the topic, if you don’t know) so I can have my secretary locate it.

Do you take commissions?
Yes. Sometimes I am busy but I am always open to hearing your idea and negotiating a rate to fit your budget.

Should have mentioned this last question but I don’t have any money.
How do I put this… I love you but I can’t do free commissions except for rare occasions.

Does anyone actually ask these questions, or is this just a long, pointless exercise in navel-gazing?
Dunno, ask this guy.
