He is a consistent advocate for amateurism and free emotional expression. Childish co-founded the Stuckism art movement with Charles Thomson in 1999, which he left in 2001. Since then a new evaluation of Childish's standing in the art world has been under way, culminating with the publication of a critical study of Childish's working practice by the artist and writer Neal Brown, with an introduction by Peter Doig, which describes Childish as "one of the most outstanding, and often misunderstood, figures on the British art scene". He is a visiting lecturer at Rochester Independent College. In July 2014 Childish was awarded an honorary Doctor of Arts Degree from the University of Kent.The most expensive item with a signature of Billy Childish (Pop Rivets Greatest Hits Signed LP Rare Billy Childish Custom Cover 1979 Punk LP) was sold in April 2022 for £389.95 while the cheapest item (WILD BILLY CHILDISH THERE IS ONLY ME V LTD SIGNED 7" BLUE VINYL SINGLE MINT MBE) found a new owner for £2.70 in November 2018.
