Tell us a bit about this design.
This design came from a pretty simple genesis...or xbox if you will. I often go over to my friends' place and watch football on their ginormous plasma TV, and afterward we spark up some first person shooter goodness. People wear shirts for their favorite sports teams all the time, but its not too often you see people wearing video game clothes to the local sports bar. Video games are a team sport today (especially in south korea), so I figured why not represent them that way? This parody was the result.
Where are you from?
Originally a small town called Orange in the county of Orange in the state of Vermont, in the country of the United States, on the planet of Earth. Now I live...an hour away from there in Burlington, Vermont. Art has really taken me places.
What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?
I'm pretty easy to approach. If you want to talk art or philosophize, theorize or vaporize hit me up on AIM or send me an e-mail sometime.
What do you absolutely not want them to find out?
I have no clever response for this. Please don't tell.
Name a few of your favorite things.
Buffalo wings, Snapple peach tea, sunny days, pogo (youtube "Upular"), and art of course.
Which classic video game would you most like to see get a modern update?
I'd love to see something creative done with Mega Man 2, outside of the platformer genre ala metroid prime, with maybe a touch of metal gear solid. It always felt so atmospheric and epic. It also had a pervading sense of loneliness throughout.
If you could be any animal, which would you choose?
The Mongoose. Snakes can suck it.
Sherlock Holmes vs. James Bond: which would win the battle?
Battle Of Brains: Sherlock Holmes. James Bond generally only survives every movie out of sheer luck. I mean, how many times has he been caught and then saved by some deus ex machina?
Battle of Brawn: Tough call, probably Bond. Sherlock was the first western martial artist in literature if I remember correctly, but Bond has some quality modern military training and tends to refrain from taking opiates. Also, if Bond was about to lose...deus ex machina to the rescue.
Downey Jr. vs Daniel Craig: Daniel Craig.
Final Verdict: Batman, I'm pretty sure he can beat everyone.
Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.
A tee by artist Franx called "Judith + Holofernes" Everything from color, to composition to concept just mesh so well on the shirt, utilizing the t-shirt space as a uniquely shaped canvas instead of just a place to put an illustration. I feel more artistic just wearing it.
Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium.
They all have their high points that make me want to pick anyone of them over the others, but I think reading never goes out of style. Old games and movies can become dated, old books become required reading. Favorite: The Butter Battle Book
What inspires your work?
Poverty... err... umm... my thoughts. I feel words have never adequately expressed the creative connections I make between disparate objects and actions in life quite like pictures. Perhaps it's just my bad grammar.
Any shout outs?
Threadless for giving me my start in the industry. Jimiyo for helping me right here at teefury when I was burdened with too many bills and not a lot of health, and too many others that have helped me along the way. Justin White (www.jublin.com), Leon Ryan (www.leonryan.com), Aaron Hogg (www.moadesign.net) and a teefury favorite Ian Leino (http://ianleino.com/) are a few of the people I have gotten help from, stayed in contact with, and/or collaborated with and deserve more attention for their talents.
