Teefury

Words from the curator:

When you can't quite place the zest in your soup, it may just be mutagen.

What's a day in the life of Steve like?

It's pretty basic. I wake up, eat food, go to work, eat more food, poop at some point, go home, eat more, hunt rancor, maybe draw, sleep, lather, rinse, repeat.

What do you want Teefury fans to know?

That if you follow your dreams, you can achieve anything. Unless you have weird night terrors where people have feet for hands... then... man, you've got problems.

How did you get into art?

Im not sure I remember HOW exactly. I just remember always making sure my mom had a pen handy whenever we went out to eat so that I could draw on placemats. In high school I was all excited to pursue art, until one day the art director there hated me and wouldnt let me be in classes. From there I pursued graphic design, which turned out to be really stale and boring in itself... considering life after high school basically entailed stale layout design. Then tshirts came along, and I remember how much fun drawing was. So here we are.

What would be your dream job?

My dream job would be a Space Cowboy, like in that movie Space Cowboys. You know the one... where like, a whole bunch of old guys go into space for some reason. I think Clint Eastwood was in it... and Robert Duvall? Robert Duvall was in that right? I actually never saw it, but I imagine it was cool cause those guys were awesome, and I love the idea of lassoing aliens.

Do you have any interesting hobbies or tales of intrigue? Do tell!

Bacon. And I'm not just saying that cause bacon is hip for some reason now. I've just always been a genuine admirer of it. There is a skill that I pride myself on more than anything, and that is my bacon frying ability. I'm useless in the kitchen, but when it comes to bacon, I challenge anyone to a dual of deliciousness. Trust me, YOU WILL BE DEFEATED

What historical figure do you most admire?

Does Fozzy Bear count?

Describe the first shirt you ever designed.

Oh man. Ever ever? I think it was for my first high school band "The Goat". It was my first year in graphics class, and I had no concept of raster or vector or resolution or any of those fancy terms we designers take for granted. I remember drawing the design in Illustrator, but then only having a floppy disk to save the file to. Since there wasnt nearly enough class time to get it done and ready to be screened, I saved it down as a crappy jpeg in order to get it to fit. The result was a horribly pixelated goat head with a mohawk on a plain white tshirt that half came off after the first wash.
