As a graphic designer with more than a decade working in the advertising industry, Butcher Billy never thought of himself as an artist - he never felt comfortable with that label. Butcher Billy didn't even realized when professional frustration led him to develop a separate persona, or entity - A Dr. Jekyl/Mr.Hyde, or Banner/Hulk relationship, if you will, had to be established, in order for the both of personas to coexist - when the hedonistic pop art beast violently took control. It all led to this: "I am Butcher Billy, and this is my Freakiest Show."
