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.

Mural projects include Woodstock 99, Art Basel Miami, Casa Décor Miami, Delaguarda, The Rio Casino Las Vegas, numerous buildings in New York and Switzerland and the Broadway, National, and London productions of the musical  RENT.

Billy The Artist’ favorite neighborhood haunts – International Bar on First Avenue in New York City – was the location of his book signing session.

In a recent exchange with EV Grieve – an East Village Blog – he shared a little about the book and his thoughts on the East Village.

Billy The Artist: “I’ve lived in the East Village for 30 years and have always loved the vibe and people here … I almost always have my sketchpad on me and would draw in my various East Village bars and, of course, hear the craziest quotes from my friends or strangers. I would write down the quotes in the back of my sketchpad and that’s how this book became a reality.

Living and working in my studio in the East Village I need to get out and be with people — be it in the afternoon or night. As I’ve gotten older, I tend to like the daytime in a bar because it [attracts] more regulars.

This book has been in the making for a long time, and both the quotes and illustrations I hope remind everyone how great the East Village was and still is.”
