William Blanchard signs his work Wildcat Will. He spent nearly twenty years as a professional drummer before art became the main occupation, and the layering habit of a rhythm section still shows in the printing. He screen prints onto neon paper and painted wood, hand-finishing with glitter and diamond dust so the surface shifts as you move past it. His subjects come from punk record sleeves, Marvel comics, hand-painted shop signs and old magazine advertising, worked into a Pop Art language that owes a debt to Paolozzi, Peter Blake and Richard Hamilton, with the collage instinct of Schwitters and Cornell running underneath.
