About the artist

Tell us a bit about this design.
It's a play off of stencil graffiti and a boyhood love of Star Wars. Lovable Artoo's shape is most often compared to a trashcan, but second place in my head was a spray can. I might have just watched "Exit Through the Gift Shop" at the time and had stencils on my mind. Spraying images is like analog hologram projection!
Where are you from?
From the sunny shores of California.
What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?
The amount of odd trinkets in my car rivals a toy store...this keeps me inspired. And with this inspiration, a number of new shirt designs are in the works~
What do you absolutely not want them to find out?
My odd interest in robots....
Name a few of your favorite things.
Stories of all sorts and dissecting them-- whether they're bygone myths or about why you enjoy that flavor of cupcake. I love indie comics and short stories and compelling characters in both.
What kind of art did you make as a kid?
They were pretty much crayon versions of the same things I draw now.
What is your favorite thing about robots?
The most interesting thing about robots is that they say so much about their creators and how they view themselves. The making of something in the image of oneself isn't just a dedication to everything you've learned or opinionated about yourself, but your opinion about the development of and how your relate to the whole species...
The idea of "role" and "work" related robots asks questions about purpose. Those that are meant to resemble us ask questions about how we perceive ourselves and push boundaries of where emotional and psychological response comes from.
In fiction, and now often reality, they serve as great thought experiments of the human condition by asking questions about veiled exteriors and the gray area where something artificial becomes 'organic'. If our highest deities are portrayed as a creators, wouldn't the highest homage and honor you could give be to go out and create?
The robot, even in it's simplest form is a search for a symbol of humanity's soul.
And that's why we love Artoo... he got soul~
Street art vs. traditional art: which would win the battle?
I can admire street art but am none too good at it. I think less "battle", more "concert"...but street art that has thoroughly studied and come to it's own opinion of traditional art wins the day~
Wait long enough and a tradition can come out of any contemporary form if it's celebrated.
Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.
"Puppet Check Up" by Josh Kemble is just so funny. It's a cleverly simple idea that taps into childhood memories and the practical concerns of a grown-up life. A comical truth behind a felt exterior!
Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium.
I love movies but I think reading has made me a more involved movie watcher by activating critical/ creative brain matter. I don't game much, but wish I had more time for it. Lately I've been entertained alone by watching walkthroughs of 'Red Dead Redemption' and 'Portal'.
I recently read "Jar of Fools" and "American Gods" -- loved both.
What inspires your work?
Love and robots.
Any shout outs?
