Reading #5


Will Schade
Pg. 86-92

             After reading about Will Schade and understanding his conceptual outlook on his work I came to the conclusion that I like this guy. The subjects he paints and why he paints them is very interesting. Also, he adds texts in his work that comes off as “stupid” to some, but comes off as comical to others. It is not his fault he is dyslexic and rather than shy away from it he uses it to his advantage. “ Bill Schade’s works are ego builders, morale boosters, and status elevators.” Why it says this in the book is because his work makes people laugh. He is a very talented artist but the texts in his works are horribly misspelled and in our society that is comical to people. I respect this artist because instead of getting offended by people laughing at his work, he simply enjoys it and it makes his work very successful. His work to me is awesome, “Gerasimus” is a comical illustration on homemade paper that is extremely creative and beautifully appealing. I enjoy how he takes old stories and recreates them to read how he wants them too. He has a very creative mind and enjoys creating work that makes people feel good about themselves. Out of any artist I’ve read about so far he is by far my favorite. His light-hearted spirit and creative mind is very appealing and respectable.
