Some of my artwork:
"My Straynge Family Album" Series
Cousin Martin married a most mad mate. He mentioned he met Moana at a Mortuary.
Tiny Tina was a ton of trouble. She had to be taught that toxins tasted terrible.
Aunt Bea was busy becoming...beautiful!
Nasty Nancy never knew the necessity of nice nephew Norman. Now Norman has a nifty knick in his neck.
Ordinary Ophealia obsessed over the ocean. Obviously, her only offspring was ordained Octovia.
My name, if you haven't noticed yet, is William Welles. I was born in the South of France but was raised in New York City from the age of three. I love this city, but I am also very proud of my French heritage…maybe that’s why people say I look like one of three Musketeers (the darker, more evil fourth one no one dares to mention). By trade I am an Independent Filmmaker, and I recently started my own entertainment production company appropriately called Welles Entertainment (also see: myspace.com/wellesentertainment) to produce my films and any other creative project that my mind might conjure up. I also have this 30 year plan to build my small company into the largest fully sustained independent film studio on the East Coast and revolutionizing the movie industry as we now know it in the interim by working closely with fellow filmmakers who have a real passion for this form of art. It’s about time that good storytelling, raw talent, ingenuity, and art makes a return to the movies and stop the mindless junk that’s now being made for the lure of the all mighty dollar. Unfortunately, as an Independent Filmmaker I also have to find a way to pay the bills! This is done by managing and bartending at my mother and grandmother’s little French restaurant called Chez Napoleon in NYC’s Theater District. I must admit, though, that working with the public is not my favorite pastime. But, if you are ever in the mood for real, unpretentious French cuisine, you should definitely stop by my family’s place. It’s like going to Paris for dinner!
Personally...I have my strange ways (for example: I wear only black, and a long black ribbon in my hair...It's my style...you wouldn't understand). You'll just have to find out about my peculiar, yet fun, ways on your own; however, the most important thing about me: I have an acute allergy to human stupidity, and I have vowed to rid the world of it, or die trying! A losing battle…I know.
Who I'd like to meet: I want to meet daring, bright, creative people with innovative ideas. Artists, Photographers, writers, Models, Actors, Filmmakers, Videographers, Writers...in short anyone who can construct a creative notion on a daily basis! Is that you?
I also would like to meet the "Love of my Life"...if she didn't get hit by a truck back when she was twelve or thirteen. Do you think it's possible???
The following video has to be the funniest spoof I have EVER seen! Check it out!
Hey :) No, not @ Dixie's. They don't like paying people either. (I sure know how to pick them!) Still with Alex : ) Maybe we can meet up at the end of the week ; )
