Talk
to us a bit about what you do. based
for the past 3 years or so. I've had too many titles of different types of work
of what I do so it's just easier to call myself a visual artist instead
of an illustrator slash graphic designer slash painter slash baaaa.. you see what I mean? Tell
us about your beginnings, was this something you always wanted to do? I
went back home a few weeks ago and found this amazing painting I did when I
was 7 years old of a black cat with
a white head and it looks like he's doing one of those high-wire walks
or whatever using his tail to balance, how
funny is that! the imagination of a 7 year old can be priceless. Do
you favour one medium of work to another, or are you happy to in cooperate
various mediums throughout your work? and
textures can be hard to capture digitally but like the way I see it it's two
very different things even though nowadays it doesn’t always seem like it. For
example, if I was a photographer I'm pretty sure I'd prefer film instead of
digital and I'd probably develop most of my
films at first but with the fast pace of
the industry these days and those deadly tomorrow's deadlines it makes it
easier to go digital I believe.. does that make any sense at all? haha What
or who are you inspired by at the moment, and how much if any does this
influence your work? are
my inspiration for that series. For who I'm inspired by, I believe it's the
people I'm closest to like my extraordinary talented
girlfriend Saga Sig, her passion and thrust for her
photography is so enthusiastic that it's impossible not be inspired by. Is
there a “work process” to the way in which your work is constructed? go
with the flow pretty much, I like to put my brain to sleep when I'm drawing
actually, it's
hard to describe and I know it sounds silly but I have this technique how I
trick my brain not to think and
I just let me hands go nuts, my subconscious plays its roll to keep the linework within the borders of course but ye I'm brain-dead
quite often sort of speak. Loud music is
the perfect companion to this
zone-out technique
of mine, some good southern gnarly rap never fails. What have been some of your favourite projects to work on? much
love out there, it was intense. As far as illustration and graphics goes I
have to say the logos I did for my boys Klever and Craze are my top favorite projects so far, they
gave me all the freedom I needed to go basically nuts on the logos and I did.
When people are so relaxed and open minded and 100% trust me with
their identity and appreciate the hard work and time that it takes to get
things done properly, that's where I start to favorite
the work. Tell
us a bit about what you are working on now and what we can expect in the near
future. I'm
getting too many question marks when the fuck I will actually exhibit in
London so expect that to
happen anytime soon. Besides that I'm working on a more personal
collaborative project with Saga which I
cant really talk to much of at this point but I promise it'll be something
else! |
