Billy is currently showing a series of his paintings, titled "Killing with Love", at the Frank Pictures gallery in Los Angeles. He describes his work as being influenced by the found materials he gathers on location and the Japanese martial art of Kendo. I think I see a little of Paul Klee's influence, too. Here is a sampling. The show is up until September 1st.

Given all the supposed down time on movie sets this seems like a valid pursuit. Maybe if more stars picked up paint brushes instead of... well, whatever it is they pick up.
I thought he was wonderfully hilarious in Zoolander as himself. (Yes, I only just saw it last month.) But it's true he's been terribly typecast - not sure why. Maybe he prefers playing bad guys? Titanic was - forgettable for me, but he was memorable in Dead Calm wasn't he? That movie made Nicole Kidman's career but it should have made Zane's.
