William Upski Wimsatt is an artist, journalist, author, entrepreneur, multi-issue organizer, philanthropist, organization-builder and lecturer. Billy Wimsatt was born in Chicago, Illinois, and is 27 years old as of 2004. A college dropout, William is often paid to speak at many college campuses. William uses "Upski" as his middle name, but it is really his tag, meaning the name he used to write graffiti growing up in Chicago.

Once William was writing on walls, now he has written three books to date. Bomb The Suburbs, his first book, is a unique collection of essays, stories, cartoons, interviews, disses, and parodies of the suburban mind-set.

No More Prisons, his second book, presented a much more mature Upski. The title is a reference to the Prison-industrial complex, and was released in conjunction with an underground rap album on Raptivism Records.

As part of The League of Pissed Off Voters, William has written many articles and co-edited How To Get Stupid White Men Out Of Office.
