Bill Thomas is a Houston photographer known for photos of elaborate,
humourous ways to commit suicide.

The artist in his own words
The SUICIDE series
attempts to deal with the taboo social-psychological content in an
ironic way, looking at suicide from both serious and humorous
perspectives. The photographs consist of self-constructed and
directed tableaux in which I am seen committing suicide by a
variety of outrageous means. I attempt to further the believability
of the scenarios through use of the hyper-real information
available from the 8" x 10" format, together with their
presentation as large, 32" x 42" black and white prints.
