About the artist:

The American Pop artist, Walmsley, was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, in 1923. After serving in World War II, Walmsley studied in the Academie Julian in Paris where the Alabamian rubbed shoulders with the ghosts of the modern greats who had passed through, like Matisse, Picasso and Marcel Duchamp.

As a professor at Florida State University, Walmsley soon made a name for his blatant irony, raucous humor and shameless punning. He also became known as a sage of advanced printmaking and the inventor of florescent lithography. Walmsley holds the record of the longest continued series of prints in the history of art in his alter-ego titled, "Ding Dong Daddy," creating the character in the 1960s and exploring himself until his death in 2003. Bill Wamsley said to make any art at all, is a "self-portrait."
