The CLAW Book
A CLAW To Remember: The Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestler 2008 Retrospective is done. You can buy your copy at my art opening atThe Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative on November 7. I went back and forth on showing the book to the public before the opening, but ultimately decided that I should let everyone see the glory. Thanks to Harvest Moon Catering, Abrakadabra, Monkeyclaus, The Blue Moon Diner, and of course, the women of CLAW. Also, thanks to Wistar Murray for writing and editing. Alloy Workshop for design, Will May for conceptual vision, Jennifer Tidwell for being amazing, and my wife Jocelyn and son William for everything else. You all are wonderful.
Mark the opening:

Once again Billy, you have demonstrated yourself as an extraordinary artist… quirky, undaunted and raw. The book is amazing. Jason and I are unfortunately going to miss your opening, but we will be sure to get our copy when we return from Austin.

An unqualified success… It is glorious, poignant, irreverent, and chocked full of visual truth. You should be so proud of yourself.. I certainly am proud for you..
Congratulations..
