[.ca] Views from a Tortured Libido (ISBN 0867193999)

sex, aphrodisiacs and vomit:
i first got this book to satisfy a fascination for the "big daddy" ed roth paintings i would see in the back of hot-rod magazines when i was a kid. to clear a few things up, robt. williams is more twisted than a green monster driving a header-flamed muscle car. it wasn't until i found a 10 year old copy of guns-n-roses appetite for destruction hidden away in my basement that i realized i had seen this type of art before. williams painted the metal spider lunging from a wooden fence to prey on boy for the back cover. that picture fascinated me then as do these images now. i lost my copy of this sometime back but the juxtaposition of amoeba behind the wheel of fast cars being chased by cowboys lingers in my brain like a dream barely remembered. his work is very much like this. anything can happen, beautiful or frightening, and very often on the same page.

Excellantly vicious!:
An absolutely awesome collection of Mr.Williams artwork!Not only does it show the painting as a whole but it also has detail plates and a page or two to explain the meaning of the painting.Some of the more complex paintings come with a numbered reference diagram.Excellante!!!
