Bill Fick  is a self-described “linographer.” That is, he makes linoleum block prints. They are in-your-face, larger-than-life prints that invite you with humor, then challenge you with poignant subject matter. His Gitmo series is a favorite of mine.

I met Bill when he taught one of my graduate courses at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a great printmaker and a great friend. Bill also participated in the Lions, Tigers, Bears, Etc. show I curated in 2006.
