“Time & Place” is a website where you can buy Will Anderson’s unique art, photography and clocks.

Clocks? Why ? You may wonder. You may not. It’s OK. Let me explain:

While Will was busy scoring “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” he lived in Vancouver B.C.

Every week he would walk from his place to Dick & Rogers, the studio where MLP:FiM was mixed. Along the way he would pass KIMPRINTS, a store that exclusively represents the artwork of Ken Foster, the most famous street artist in Vancouver.

Sidebar: There is a documentary about Ken on Netflix, should you care to know more about this unique and talented man.

Anyway, Will became an admirer and collector of Ken’s work. Ken paints anything. Chairs, screens, cardboard boxes, you name it.

One day Will bought a discarded banquet chair Ken had painted with the iconic East Van sign. Will really liked it and decided he wanted to commission more chairs. Actually it was his mother’s idea to commision more..

Kim, the owner and proprietor of KIMPRINTS, explained how the commissions would work:

One would drop off an item, say, a chair, along with, say, $50.00. Kim would then give Ken the item and advance money. Ken might return with the item painted, he might not. One can’t specify what Ken is to paint. He paints what he wants. If he does return the item painted, you pay the agreed upon balance and receive the item. If he doesn’t return you lose the item and your deposit.

Will ended up with four chairs.

When he came to pickup the last two he noticed a 4”x 12” formerly discarded clock that Ken had painted with a landscape of the city. The clock is now in Will’s collection.

After “My Little Pony” wrapped Will moved to Santa Monica and began to focus on painting, photography and mixed-media work. Thinking of Ken, he began to fashion some of his pieces into clocks.

Soon thereafter friends, other composers, musicians, and post-production people began to buy them.

And so he began selling them as a vendor in the Palisades Park area of Santa Monica. He created this website to showcase his growing catalog of works and offer them for sale.

So that is the story. Check out the stuff. Order if you want. Or stop by Palisades Park to pick one up at Will’s vendor stand. Know that he may or may not be there.
