Collects 60 of Williams's paintings. Hot rods, monsters, girls in bikinis and taco stands are among the prominent elements. The chromatic chaos disseminated by Williams in this multimedia book is about as masterful as it can get in the wood-pulp page-trade. Heisenberg's SurRealities involved continual change and self-determined subjective, bizarre singularities. Introduction by Timothy Leary.

sex, aphrodisiacs and vomit,
This review is from: Views from a Tortured Libido (Paperback)
i first got this book to satisfy a fascination for the "big daddy" ed roth paintings i would see in the back of hot-rod magazines when i was a kid. to clear a few things up, robt. williams is more twisted than a green monster driving a header-flamed muscle car. it wasn't until i found a 10 year old copy of guns-n-roses appetite for destruction hidden away in my basement that i realized i had seen this type of art before. williams painted the metal spider lunging from a wooden fence to prey on boy for the back cover. that picture fascinated me then as do these images now. i lost my copy of this sometime back but the juxtaposition of amoeba behind the wheel of fast cars being chased by cowboys lingers in my brain like a dream barely remembered. his work is very much like this. anything can happen, beautiful or frightening, and very often on the same page.
