Here's a submission from Jason Court:
I used to encounter Wesley all the time in the mid to late 80s whilst he sat in a folding chair on the corner of State and Rush streets with a stack of poster boards on his lap and a handfull ofpens....all the while rockin out to whatever he had on his head phones. One rainy day I stopped and chatted with him, as a always did, and he gave me the piece he had just been drawing with felt tips and ball point pens. It was spotted with rain drops and slightly stained with coffee, or maybe a cola of some sort. Its a wonderful rendition of the intersection of State, Rush and Ceder street looking South. He signed it "yours truly Wesley Willis" and I've had it hanging in my office where ever I have moved since. I am so sorry to have heard of his passing....he really did have an amazing view of the world. What a loss, Im glad a have a piece of his legacy and his contribution.
