Step into the intoxicating world of Robt. Williams. Facile Raconteur examines the life and creative genius of the "Godfather of Lowbrow Art." Filmmaker Steve "Sketch" Vallino provides a unique perspective to Williams' outlaw artistry.

Williams was one of the seven original contributors to Zap Comix, an integral part of the counterculture movement. His influence on alternative art and culture is immeasurable, and his legacy is nothing short of revolutionary. He championed young artists' opportunities to gain exposure, ultimately giving birth to the iconic art chronicle, Juxtapoz magazine. In the 1960s, as Art Director for the famous custom car builder Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, Williams found himself at the epicenter of rebellious, anti-war circles, sparking a unique artistic evolution that still resonates with enthusiasts and artists alike.

Williams introduced the term "lowbrow" into the fine arts lexicon, marking a significant turning point with his groundbreaking 1979 book, "The Lowbrow Art of Robt. Williams." This pivotal manifesto laid the foundation for the emergence of the seminal elements of west coast outlaw culture, an aesthetic that continues to resonate today.
