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.

]]> Comment on three black & white drawings by Julian http://www.sclaywilsontrust.com/2010/09/06/three-black-white-drawings/#comment-685 Julian Sat, 14 Jan 2012 05:40:27 +0000 http://www.sclaywilsontrust.com/?p=61#comment-685 The three drawings posted are superb--I've never seen such detailed stuff by S Clay Wilson before. Although I'm saddened to learn of his injury, It's heartening to see the love and friends that are in his life.

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.

It hadn't occurred to me that you could do things so outrageous and provocative and absolutely wonderful. It opened my conciousness wide open and it's never closed. So many thanks for being who you are and letting the rest of us in on it! I don't know much about the problems you've got and whether or not there's any possibility of them getting any better, but I do surely hope that happens, one way or another. You've left a powerful legacy and I hope you can add to it. Take care. The first time I saw one of Wilson’s strips (in one of the Zaps, I think), I was amazed.

Clay Wilson's "Poet's Hell". My searches online indicate that this may be fairly valuable now and I would like to sell it but don't know any galleries or dealers that might be interested in it - but I'll bet someone here does! If I can sell this print at a reasonable price I would gladly donate a significant percentage to the trust fund. Please contact me through this forum to make arrangements. Thanks Hello,
