TY WILLIAMS: AWAY MESSAGE

Ty Wiliams is a mixed media artist/surfer based between rural Maine and St. Augustine, Florida (or wherever in the world he can find a wall to paint or good waves to surf).

Ty Wiliams, an old friend of Madre, is a mixed media artist/surfer based between rural Maine and St. Augustine, Florida (or wherever in the world he can find a wall to paint or good waves to surf). His Hockney/Matese style of art has developed and morphed throughout his travels and is expressed through a variety of mediums ranging from simple cheeky sketches to large-scale wall murals and swimming pools. In these times, Ty too is on lockdown and has made us a playlist to pass the time. Have a listen, read through his interview, and let the tunes transport you to another place.

WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS IN MUSIC?

Reggae, dub to be specific, old roots music. That and jazz, bossa nova, etc. things that can be put on and “lived to”. I enjoy having music play that I don’t have to worry about.

WHAT INSPIRED YOUR MADRE RADIO PLAYLIST?

IF YOU WERE TO DRINK A GLASS OF MEZCAL WITH ANYONE LIVE OR DEAD, WHO WOULD IT BE?

My answer to this would change given the day but I still feel like I would like to drink with Bill Murray.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

To have a look into Ty’s world check out his Instagram and his website.

My name is Ty Williams and I’m from The northeast. Maine in particular I guess.

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR ART?

I get jazzed over vintage illustrations, calypso records, whimsical simplistic writing, primitive art, trips to Japan, life on the ocean, surfing.

HOW HAVE YOU GOTTEN TO THE POINT YOU ARE NOW CREATIVELY?

I believe that I have been quite proficient in procrastination and highly ambitious in the support of leisurely activities …so I think that has lead to whatever this is now…

Contrasted desert shadows and ancient symbols gently entice you to ask questions and feel deeper into Le Fawnhawk’s work. Madre gathered a few of these questions, and sat down with the magic-bound ...

Two things in life that pair well together are mezcal and surfing.
