I love to transform rage into action.

I love to transform joy into action.

Today, let’s focus on joy, eh?!

Shannon Brags on William:

William and I spent a full 24-hours making art and trouble at Google Chicago with some seriously rad humans last winter. Everyone in Chicago knows William and his work. His art cart is mad famous and I can attest to the sheer joy his work and personality bring to everyone he comes in contact with.
