mischievous, Art
poses in front of the Bureau of Engraving & Printing in Washington,
DC. At the time this photo was taken he and his girlfried were
travelling across the country, passing thousands in counterfeit at
America's strip malls. Credit: Wensdae Williams Size: 1.7MB |
Art Williams, in
front of
the Bridgeport Homes, the Chicago housing project where he spent his
teenage years. "I hated that place from the first day. I'd gone from a
kid in the suburbs who was really hoping life would get better, to a
kid who said, 'It's not gonna get better.' And I started losing it." Credit: Jason Kersten Size: 3.3MB |

Art with his
parents,
circa 1973. His father—a paper hanger, truck thief, and short-range con
artist— would end up in Stateville Correctional Center a few years
later. Credit: Wensdae Williams Size: 1MB |
