It is with deepest regret that we announce the recent passing of legendary New Yorker, Billy The Artist (William Miller).

Billy was “Pura Vida” whose art adorned products worldwide from Swatch to Nescafé. His first big gig was to paint panels for the broadway stage of RENT that captured the energy and vibrancy of the East Village, the place he called home for the last 30 years. Collector Steve Cohen recently purchased one of his famous cows and musician John Baptiste enjoyed playing his custom piano. His entire life was dedicated to art.

Rest In Peace.

Billy The Artist (BTA), the Manhattan-based creator, says this year’s CowParade feels like a homecoming.

Cows will be looking to keep the city moo-ving come August during the return of the famed CowParade.

The public art event dates back to 2000, when a three-month display of ceramic cows helped bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars for New York City non-profits like God’s Love We Deliver, this year’s primary sponsor.

Colorful cows will be on view from August through September at Industry City, where 75 different artists from around the world are currently putting the finishing touches on their not-so-livestock. At the end, the carefully curated cows are put out to pasture — and sold by auction to the highest bidder.

Though CowParade began in New York, organizers say they’ve gone on to stage another 90-plus public art exhibits in 34 countries worldwide. To date, more than 6,000 life-size fiberglass cows have been transformed by countless creators, and this summer marks CowParade’s 100th international event.

Billy The Artist, a creator who has participated in the CowParade since its first Moo York Celebration, said the show’s stars were chosen for their playful but gentle nature.

Alexa Meade transformed Bjarke Ingels – her favorite architect – into art. Alexa Meade is an artist who turns the traditional notion of art on its head — instead of capturing the real world on a flat canvas, the real world is her canvas. Through detailed, trompe l’oeil brush-work painted directly on humans or objects, Meade transforms the 3-dimensional world into a 2-dimensional one.

Alexa Meade is an artist who turns the traditional notion of art on its head—instead of capturing the real world on a flat canvas, the real world is her canvas. Through detailed, trompe l’oeil brush-work painted directly on humans or objects, Meade transforms the 3-dimensional world into a 2-dimensional one. While her art has sent her all around the world, Meade made headlines recently for painting Ariana Grande in her God is a Woman music video. New York Magazine’s The Cut met up with the artist to find out more about her process, the ungodly amount of paint she goes through, and what it’s like to toggle between the 2D and 3D worlds. Read the whole article in New York Magazine: The Cut.
