SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) — Located on the East Side of Syracuse, the Petit Branch library is a storehouse for creativity. The great thing is, the creativity doesn’t stop after the last page.
William Hall is the creator of the Outlandish Way Art Exhibit, an art exhibit currently being held at the library until the end of November, and a yearly tradition since 2003.
Hall, who probably has more creative juices that the rest of us combined, has been creating outlandish art for quite some time. It all started when he was painting over poor photographs attempting to fix them. He said he’s found his passion, and wakes up every morning excited for the day.
“It’s like a miracle, it’s a miracle life, y’know. I mean like I make weird pictures and then I draw cartoons on ’em,” said Hall.
This passion has since budded into a full scale operation, with Hall who has graduated from paint to the Adobe Creative Cloud, creating about 180 works of art a year.
While many edit photographs, Hall takes it to another level, sometimes leaving the finished product looking nothing like the original.
He also creates a small cartoon and either writes or selects a quote to go along with each piece of artwork.
Hall isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, and why would he when he wakes up every day with a smile on his face.
