The eerie animal art of Donald Roller Wilson FLASH-INTENSIVE WEBSITE Something amusing, unnerving and beautiful for a worrisome and contentious time. This post hereby dedicated to TenaciousPettle, who introduced me to Wilson's art.

I also wanna shout out to li'l Moe with the gimpy leg. Don't give up the dance, brother.

  • Wilson is great, and more than a little creepy. Dig that crazy phallic imagery. Together with the smiling chimps with crazy eyes, it's good old fashioned nightmare fuel. The wife and I used to live down the street from Wilson's studio in Fayetteville, AR. The building used to be a grain storehouse, or something. Freaky stuff. Perfect for an artist.
  • I digged Wilson for years. Seem to be many with the name Wilson I dig. Wish I could afford to hang his shit on the wall.
  • One of my wife's best friends worked for Wilson as a personal assistant. We have a signed print of one of his exhibition posters in the den, which was a wedding present. I hear Robin Williams is a big Wilson collector.
  • Excellent art. Thanks.
  • The website reminds me of the old Resident's CD-Rom. Anybody remember that? I think it was called Freakshow?
  • (let ((topic 'off)) (format 'bananas "Does anyone know of a decent flash player available in source form? Sad old Unix geeks miss so much community fun without the Flash thing"))
  • Can't help you there, Chaz, but Google image search turns up about three pages of stuff, if you're looking for a taste.
