My name is Bill Main and I make art. I live and work in San Pedro, California -the heart of the Port of Los Angeles…where the ghetto meets the sea. I have always seen pop culture as double-edged: it can be both off-putting and massively entertaining. While some of my art work is a direct reflection of my love for pop, others come against the notion entirely. I’m enjoying both directions. Most, if not all of my creations start as traditional paintings. For a long time, I was working heavily digitally but I felt the need to get away from the computer screen. Although I firmly believe that medium has little to do with the quality of artwork, I just needed to get some paint under my fingernails.
