Wesley Lawrence Willis was an American painter and singer-songwriter.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Willis was what nowadays is politely called an 'outside artist' - which is a polite way of saying that he altered between full schizo mode and just being mildly off his rocker. While gaining early recognition by selling hand-drawn Chicago landscapes in various Chicago parks, his breakthrough came with the founding on his punk rock band, the Wesley Willis Fiasco" in 1991.
The true nature of the band remains a bit of a disputed issue. Some fans will insist Willis was a proverbially mad genius, and the sole reason the band got big in the first place. Other people will insist that Willis was the sole reason the band got big, but mostly by virtue of being paraded around as a one-man freak show for the entertainment of the audience.
One way or another, the Wesley Willis Fiasco broke up in 1996. Willis himself continued under different labels. He died of leukemia on August 21st, 2003.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Wesley Willis fought in 8chanmania LX. His fight against the Blackpillfag wasn't particularly helped by having the voices in his head rooting for his opponent, and Willis ultimately tapped out against despair made manifest.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- After going solo, Willis picked up the habit of headbutting unsuspecting fans during his tours. This left him with a visible bruise on his forehead.
- Wesley Willis whupped Batman's ass.
