| مستخلص: | This color drawing features two views of the house at 180 West South Street, as drawn by artist and signmaker, William (bc) (Bill) Collins, who lived with his family in the house from 1992 to 2013. Born in Columbus, Ohio, William (bc) (Bill) Collins, attended Columbus College of Art and Design when it was still a small art school, majoring in Fine Art. After serving in the Army in Europe, he became a sign artist for businesses throughout the Columbus area, starting his sole ownership sign business in 1978. Over nearly three decades, he created some of the most iconic advertising art in central Ohio. Before the advent of computers and the use of vinyl, bc designed, created and sold his signs marketing his work through word of mouth. He cut letters with a router, made and pounced patterns, projected designs on a variety of objects then finished the job by painting and installing the sign. Beginning around 1980, bc created and/or painted signs, trucks, building fronts, windows doors and awnings in the Brewery District, Short North, OSU Campus and other Columbus area businesses. In addition to his sign art, bc was an accomplished muralist, sculptor and painter of portraits, landscapes and other work, which were exhibited in galleries throughout central Ohio. In April 2022, bc’s 1992, 25-foot mural of the Columbus skyline became part of the permanent collection at The Ohio Arts Council. bc said about his painting: "I love the aesthetics of all styles of art, but using oil, I favor creating atmospheric qualities in my realistic to abstract paintings. I enjoy completing oil pastels from my travels. The mesmerizing full moon is important in my life; I often portray it in my paintings." bc and his family lived in Columbus and Worthington for a combined 40 years. |
