Billy Childish (English, b 1959): Grim Reaper Prize Draw Ticket. Signed in pencil lower right. Prize draw tickets leftover from the 2010 Art Car Boot Fair. Each one with an original signed woodcut on the front, and the rules and regulations on the back. The rules and regulations state that the woodcut has no financial value, but you shouldn’t believe everything you read. In print or on the internet. Issued by the British Art Resistance, Billy's anti-art non-organization that predated ART HATE. One colour woodcut and laser print on a mid-weight book wove.
Billy Childish (born Steven John Hamper) is an English painter, author, poet, photographer, film maker, singer and guitarist. Since the late 1970s, Childish has been prolific in creating music, writing and visual art.
