BILL GRANT

Old Artist. New Writer. Born Storyteller.

EVERYONE HAS
A STORY.

Mine is that I have always been the one who tells them.

Throughout my long career, I have worn many creative hats in this pursuit, including those of artist, creative director, strategist, and even cartoonist. The whole time, I had one mission- to tell a great story. Now, after 40 years, I have chosen to trade my pencil for a pen to pursue the written word, guided by what has always been my creative North Star: the power of intense, close observation.

I hope you enjoy the work. More importantly, I hope that in reading it you find that essential element crucial to any good tale: a tiny, shining diamond of truth. Cheers.

EVERYWHERE

He sees you everywhere. God. That’s what Father says. Even when you go to the bathroom, which is weird. Weird, like being all dressed up on Sunday and sitting on the couch watching church on the computer.
