Being mostly self-taught and shunning California’s conceptual oriented art schools, he eventually enrolled in The Art Students League located in New York to reinforce his spotty art foundation.

Bill went on to work in writing and drawing comic books, animation and illustration. He is mostly known for his painting style on the Ren and Stimpy Show, his monthly strip in Mad Magazine and his collaborations with Mike Mignola on Hellboy Jr.

Bill is currently concentrating on fine art oil painting.

He resides in Sierra Madre, California with his significant other Sharon and his linguist-gifted parrot Mooky.

He believes his biggest contribution to society is not having any children so he can be doing as many paintings as possible before he’s dead.
