Comments on: S CLAY WILSON…The night that changed his life…. http://www.sclaywilsontrust.com/2010/07/16/wilson-and-me/ Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:58:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: robert ferrigno http://www.sclaywilsontrust.com/2010/07/16/wilson-and-me/#comment-828 robert ferrigno Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:58:20 +0000 http://sclaywilsontrust.com/?p=1#comment-828 I just found out about Wilson's condition when his biographer emailed me a request for some history. I'm pained as all of us are. Wilson and I started corresponding 35 years ago when I sent him a short twisted piece of fiction and he wrote back with a water color illustrating the piece. I commissioned him to illustrate a piece by william burroughs i was publishing in a seattle punk magazine i edited a few years later. "The Popcorn Kid." We met a few times in SF, Seattle and LA. I used to send him my current crime novel - he loved freebies as much as I did - and he sent me homemade postcards and posters of his latest show. Please tell Wilson that Ferrigno has nothing but admiration and best wishes for him. I don't know if he's reading or capable of following what you read to him, but I'd be happy to send him one. email me with a mailing address.

I see in S. Clay's balls-to-the-wall and utterly uninhibited style more than a revolution: his drawings continue to teach me that there is a Lascaux in the pit of every human stomach, filled with our secret scribble-story, and that for whatever anybody else might say, the most perfect thing anyone can do is to be true to that.

I always eagerly sought out any further publications over the years featuring his work. I am sorry to hear about his injury, and hopefully his health will continue to improve. I will forward a check, after all the wild, fascinating art, characters and stories he's given us all its a small way of saying thanks, S.Clay. All the best, and continue to recover. Mark.

I have not seen you for many years since Essex. It's been a long time and I'm glad to see you doing well. Congratulation on your marriage to S. Clay Wilson, I do remember his work. You have not changed at all. Just in case you don't remember me, I was married to Billy Collins. Your doing great things, good luck to you. Tina Collins Lorraine,

Zap was a critical influence on me, and a lot of other Akron, Ohio folk. I've done mostly fundraising and grantmaking for a lot of years. I'd be happy to help look into prospects like the Pollack/Krasner grants: http://www.pkf.org/foundation.html Fleishacker in SF may be receptive: http://www.fleishhackerfoundation.org/grants.html Gottlieb: http://gottliebfoundation.org/grants/ There are likely more, but I don't have a lot of information. Thank you for your efforts, and let me know if I can help. Dan Hi. Zap was a critical influence on me, and a lot of other Akron, Ohio folk.

I am sure many people have thanked you for the wonderful care you have give Steven. I am hoping that at some point in the future he will be able to venture out into the world of his adoring fans. I have a few posters and many Zaps and have enjoyed them all. I am still very sad about this whole thing I am hoping there are not too many people trying to take advantage of him, I am sure you will protect him. All my best Gary Willoughby Lorraine,
