Call the Times -Advocate 235-1331 JIT 'S YJ LJR BUSINESS_ Times -Advocate, April 1,1998 Page 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 Free Internet access for Lambton County residents LAMBTON COUNTY - Industry ' Canada has announced the names of 11 communities in Lambton County ' that will receive funding for the next two years to provide free Public Internet access termi- nals as part df_ the Community Ac- cess Program.
