The prolific practises of the artist, musician and poet, Billy Childish, might make you wonder if he has more hours in the day than most. Obviously not, but like most things, it is in the ‘how’; how one uses their time.

The mercurial maverick, infamous for being ahead of the cultural curve, runs on a clockwork routine. Ironically, Billy Childish’s rigour for discipline, enables the mind a measure of freedom to prolifically produce art across many mediums. Deep meditation and exercises, such as swinging traditional Indian clubs, also inform his daily creative outpourings.
