Shane Wilcox: an Exeter artist for hire
By Brenda Burke
T -A Reporter
EXETER - "In Grade 1, I started•
really drawing seriously." confided
18 -year-old Shane Wilcox, sitting
at his kitchen table surrounded by
samples of his best work:
A 'Listen to the Wind' poster de-
signed for last year's South Huron
District High School play. A vi-
brant drawing of a boy at a forest
edge, a rainbow leading him down
his dream path, past tree roots that
represent life's obstacles (Wilcox.
won the regionals with this work of
art in the Marion Drysdale contest
just a few months ago). Detailed
pencil drawings of a crack deal go-
ing down, of rappers Ice Cube and
Tupac Shakur. 'A T-shirt • design
reading 'R U Stoned' (The idea'
didn't sell because the market is al-
ready saturated with marijuana con-
tent, Wilcox was informed). A
sketch of someone's pet pooch.
"That's what -I'm basically trying
to get into," said Wilson, who has
recently distributed flyers around
Exeter inan effort to advertise his
talents including pencil portraits,
greeting cards, advertisements and
murals. -
He's particularly interested in set-
ting. up an on -the -spot sketch area
at an area flea market. He said he'll
charge $30 for "a quick little pencil
sketch" that takes 10 to 15 minutes
to complete. •
Wilcox landed his first art job de-
signing a new business• logo for
Windworks and Solar -Ltd., in Lu -
can. He plans .to take the • current
logo and add dimension to it, make
it "not so computerish."
Believing "graffiti is art," looking
up to Exeter artist Harry Burke as a
mentor, and using a hip-hop uni-
versal character based on his own
nick -name, Tame (couch potato),
throughout his work, Wilcox
knows exactly what his an stands
for.
"Art is something that takes a lit-
tle bit of skill, not just splatter,
splatter...I like art that makes you
think...You drawit exactly as you
see it. If one line is incorrect. then
the whole drawing is out of
whack." .
Wilcox is not only a critic of,ab-
stract art, but of Huron County art
programs. Although he feels art his-
tory has its place; he feels skill de-
velopment is more crucial in art
class.
A natural at perspective and hu-
man drawing, he doesn't make a
habit of doing rough sketches, pre-
fers to hide both his name and Ta -
toe in his work and doesn't- like his
