I'm an artist going blind. Boo fucking Hoo

About Me

My name is Bill Purnell / William Purnell and I am an artist with a progressive eye disorder "retinitis pigmentosa". This means I have tunnel vision and find it difficult/impossible to see in dim light. I studied general art and design at thurrock college, Essex and graduated with a BA hons in fine art from The Kent Institute of Art and Design in Canterbury. I play in the band "The CON" which is taking a break at the moment because our drummers touring america! I made the music on this page but my computers wrecked at the mo when fixed ill be back melodizing once again. I am one of the original KUNTISTS. An art movement which began in the summer of 2006 founded by myself and John Gathercole. I have too many influences to mention here but a few are Chris Morris, Patrick Caulfield, graffiti, Ralph steadman, Comedy, Peep show, Curb your Enthusiasm, League of gentleman, Bill Hicks, Harry Hill, Reeves and Mortimer, Mighty Boosh, Nathan Barley. The kuntists.
