Photography Billy Kidd

Information

I'm self taught.

In 1980 I was born in Panama City, FL to a painter and a carpenter. I was raised on the Smurfs, Snorks, Thundercats and He-Man cartoons.

When I was six years old we sold everything in a garage sale. I made an impressive $20 selling my He-Man action figures, Castle of Grayskull, G.I. Joe's and every little thing I had. I thought it would be fun to put my money in a small wooden box and bury it with a long white string tied to it coming out of the dirt, it would be my buried treasure. I never found the money. We weaved around the US from state to state in an RV. I slept above the driver seat, in a loft style bed, which I thought was the coolest thing. Towards the end of our journey we went through Death Valley. Running around in Scooby-doo underwear, it was hot, a bag of ice cost us $3.49 in 1987. We settled down in Scottsdale, AZ.

When I was 18, My son Brennan was born.

I relocated to New York on August 26th, 2009.

I married my wife Heather Huey on October 12, 2014.

Our son Hudson was born at the end of 2015.
