Rock over London rock out Chicago ❤️ I say that anytime I play a song for friends. Just so they’ll ask what it means and I can show Wesley to someone new. An amazing artist I’m truly inspired by in my own work ❤❤❤

He was brilliant. He just had too many demons to fight. You can hear what a kind, gentle soul he truly was. Mental illness came with too much stigma then, and still today....

I’m so glad I discovered Wes. Such a pure artist and such a natural talent. It’s always bittersweet with him, knowing what he’s been through. However you frame it though, it’s very real: no pretence or bullshit. I think that’s the true beauty of him as a man and as an artist. Rock over London Rock on Chicago 🫡🤘🏾

Woah! He made art too! I only knew him for his music, my dad used to know him, and I think he did some sound work for some of his shows, but I was never told he had other works outside that. I wish I could’ve met the guy, such a raw and genuine human being.
@carlhart73362 жыл бұрын
He certainly did, and that was his true talent. It's a shame that his art has been overshadowed by his, frankly, unlistenable music.

Also, this shows his amazing perspective, sitting on a chair on the ground, drawing as if he was up 100 feet and looking through a fish eye lens...just amazing.

This is about a year before I met Wesley, and recorded his verbalizing, which I set to music, which inspired him to write his songs. Great Video, very nice, you capture Wesley's personality very well.
