Tilteed picked up my Bummin & Runnin design. This wacked out character tee is now on sale on slate color AA. Get ’em hot off the press!
Here is the interview:
Tell us about the inspiration for this t-shirt design.
Most of my work tends to lend itself to strange environments and odd fellows. This is another of my weird and semi-creepy characters who is in the out-the-gate mode.
I wanted to catch a twisted and animated look with this particular stranger. So with a little bit of ol’school animation style mixed in with a fine line contemporary genre I
ended up with this fella who looks like maybe he just bummed a bottle and is now off to his own crooked world.
Any projects that have you excited at the moment?
I’ve been in the studio at the easel for the past month working on a series of paintings called : The Agents of Chaos. I will be showing at the Snow Board Connection here in Seattle for the full month of August (if anyone’s in the Emerald City please come on out!). Aside from the fine art, I’m working on some visuals for a local band called Captain Gravel who have a pretty rad sound (go check em out!). I also work as the art director for Defiant Skate out of Seattle and am working on a new line of deck designs to be launched next season. I also recently finished up some eye candy for the group The N.O.C. from Orlando who just released their new album DINOSAUR (these cats are super skilled mouth jockeys!).
Juggle, twist, shout, juggle, eat, sleep…I’m ready for more.
What’s your favorite thing about living in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest?
I live on the water and have a beautiful view of the Olympic Mountains across the Sound here. When I’m not working I take off into the wild and get my hiking and climbing on to the fullest. Mountains, the Pacific, and megatons of natural beauty are only a short drive and besides all of the great micro-brewers here those little chunks of paradise are what make life wonderful!
If you weren’t in Seattle, where would you be?
If I wasn’t in Seattle I would probably be in Switzerland. My heritage is Swiss and there is an province there called Bieri (which means beer!). The name changed upon the arrival to the States of course. My deep roots hail from Bieri and I have a feeling there is an ancestral connection to some insane brew masters there. I could handle chilling in the Swiss Alps with some beers and family!
What was the last movie that you saw? Thumbs up or thumbs down?
I just watched Drag Me To Hell the other night. If I was Shiva all my thumbs would be straight up! Sam Raimi delivers like no other. I just wish he would make more films!
One super power, what would it be?
One super power would be the power to clone. If I could tap into that I could clone myself and finish all my projects in a day!
Anything else you want to say.
A big shout out to all my friends, family, and supporters! You know who you are and I’m fortunate to be inspired by all your energy!
