Check out this bitchin’ new movie about renegade painter and HUSTLER pal Robert Williams. The king of lowbrow art and psychedelic surrealism has been churning out eyeball-blistering, compulsively detailed canvases for decades. A born hell-raiser, Williams was one of the original postwar hot-rodders and a linchpin in what became known as the West Coast style. He created the album art for Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction, founded the seminal art journal Juxtapoz and became a darling of Hollywood royalty and a punching bag for hardline feminists—largely thanks to studding his work with voluptuous “easy-read beauties.” Like his pictures, Robert Williams: Mr. Bitchin’ is crammed with details about the wild side of Americana and useful insights from the master himself on what it’s like to stick your neck out for your art. Keep your eyes peeled! For more info, check out MrBitchin.com and CinemaLibreStudio.com.
