Lately, Wil stacks lots of paper. Though for Wil it's about color not paper. The paper seems his means to bring color to life; the more yellow paper stacked the more yellow it appears, and so on. From pale to bright, pastel to neon, smooth to textured, merely viewing just one of Wil's paper stacks is an eye-popping experience. Now picture many stacks each a foot to a foot and a half high, pretty much side by side on every surface in his good-sized bedroom, including the surface of his large drafting table as seen in the photos above. That is Wil's COLORAMA!
All of Wil's stacks are not made of just one color, however. Many represent video and DVD characters from "the Wind in the Willows," "Little Bear," "Dora the Explorer," Dragon Tales," "Winnie the Pooh," "Pinocchio", Hey Arnold," "Rolie Polie Olie," "Blues clues" and more. If you know your characters, with a simple glance you'd be able to identify his character stacks by name. Take the colors of any character, Hey Arnold, for instance. Arnold would be easy to identify by the thin light blue section/layer of paper in the stack representing his hat; a bit thicker section of yellow would be his hair, and so forth. And yes, Wil typically starts a stack representing a character with the color of feet or shoes so that the stacked colors are in exact order that make up the character. No doubt I'll post more on this topic as it progresses...
