Like many kids growing up in the 60s, I was fascinated by the wild west. A great deal of our T.V fodder came from the U.S.A. and of course much of this was in the form of western serials or movies. Billy the Kid, amongst other outlaws was often portrayed as a western hero, writing wrongs. Then, as I grew older and read more books and watched more documentaries, I discovered that actually he was a murderous villain. Of course nothing is ever really black or white, is it? As I later discovered how he was left orphaned in the wild west, at the age of fifteen after his mother died, and was at the mercy of bullies and corrupt law enforcers, who killed his friend and mentor. Later he was apparently offered an amnesty that was reneged upon. Hence the title of my painting; 'Framed and ready to hang.'

kevinfrancissmithart.art I was born in the wagon of a travelling show in Liverpool, England in 1960 into a working class family. Things were a little tight, but Papa did whatever he could; preached a little gospel, sold a couple bottles of Doctor good. I spent my childhood dodging school bullies(these were mainly the teachers), playing with my Action man, and drawing. I didn't go to art college and I regret that, but it just seems to have been something that has always eluded me. I did eventually end up as a self- employed freelance cartoonist and illustrator( aka, Kes ). I am entirely self taught apart from my A level. I have designed greetings cards for numerous card companies and my cartoons have appeared in journals worldwide. I have always continued to paint, although I do seem to be painting a lot more of late. My paintings are inspired by; Dreams, memories, News, booze and probably other artists on occasion. With my background in cartooning, I suppose I can't avoid injecting a little humour and cynicism into my work.
