Laser Cats

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. Acrylic paint is fast drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, media, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.
