Will's current focus is a body of work titled "Monkey Business". Set against the backdrop of Denver, the artist narrates a winding adventure of a chimp and his companions strolling through the alleys and parks of the city, often disrupting or instigating the action in the scene of the frame. These characters are dressed as actors from an older brand of entertainment, the circus, and through the series they wander the afterlife of their "career" in the big tents. A former professional football player himself, Will tackles his creativity and interpretations of the current times we live, while streaming a sense of fantasy through an often-comical approach set against the landscapes he finds inspirational.
