This series of NFTs is based on an actual work of art because it was a painting that saved Bill’s life. “My first experience on the stage, I was so bad I just walked out on the street and started walking. I walked for a couple hours and I realized I walked in the wrong direction, not just in terms of the wrong direction, but in terms of a desire to stay alive."

"I walked all the way down to 68th and Cottage and it had gone from being daylight to almost dark. I was in the roughest part of Chicago and just wandering. Now it’s conflating to say these things happened on the same day, it could have, but this is what I would do generally. I’d grab the L train to the Art Institute of Chicago. I’d always get there right when it was closing and race right up the stairs and go right to 'The Song of the Lark.'"

"Standing in front of it, it’s a magical piece of work. I found out later that in 1934, Eleanor Roosevelt unveiled the piece as ‘America’s Best Loved Picture’. It’s a woman working in the field and there’s a sunrise behind her. And I thought, ‘There’s a girl who doesn’t have a whole lot of prospects. But the sun’s coming up anyway… and she’s got another chance at it.’ It gave me a feeling that a person has another chance every day the sun comes up.”
