Billy (2)

"billy is a real life artist. And not one of those sucky performance artists who try to turn everything into some big, Meaningful event. He is an amazing guy who actually lives as if all the world’s a stage, and if he’s not out there performing he is just over there, in the wings, putting his costume on.

In the fifth issue of PROOF I EXIST (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the best zine title ever) billy examines his own methods as a zinester and a performer, taking some show more time to step back a little bit from the way he lives his life, taking a moment to understand it better.

The result is a very interesting and thoughtful zine (well, the first result is a very interesting and hilarious performance that he describes therein; I won’t spoil it for you, but trust me, it’s awesome) that makes me love billy even more. Like Dan from Moonlight Chronicles, billy has a lifestyle that I could never commit myself to living, not with the genius fervor that he demonstrates. But what a life, man. I’m happy just to know him. And if I didn’t know him, I’d still be happy just to read his zine."
