In the past, he has specialized in water color painting and has completed a series of giclee of Newport and Paris. Bill is currently one of the eight artists working on the ALRI – Timberland 02863 Boot Project. He created the paper template that the students will be first working on before they paint on the actual boots. This will give the students a better idea of how their designs will look once on the three dimensional objects.
