A word from the curator:
In a galaxy far, far away, a different set of musicians made an iconic walk across the road!

Tell us the background of this design?
It was one of those ideas that I had to check online to see if it had been done before, cause it just made so much sense!  I didn't find anything, so I sat down and worked out my design...  I've seen quite a few "Abbey Road" designs in the past, but the Cantina Band Members just seemed to fit perfectly!  And to add to it, I liked the fact that they all basically the same!

Which art style would you most like to learn?
I don't know if you could consider it an art style, but I would really like to try my hand at Cake Decorating.  Like theme cakes.  I would need to learn how all the ingredients co-exist and work together, but I think it would be a lot of fun!  Especially using the fondant...

If you had a time machine, which era would you visit first?
The 80's...  And I'd bring with me a Sports Almanac so I can make some sports bets while I'm there.  And I would pay special attention to make sure I steer clear of anyone named Biff...

What goal do you most aspire towards?
I would LOVE to one day see one of my designs being sold in an actual store!  I had a design in a store once already, but it only made it to a couple of locations and none of them near me.  On a side note, I also think it would be cool to randomly run into someone wearing one of my designs...  Of course, I bet they probably wouldn't believe me if I said I designed their shirt!  But that would still totally make my day!

If you could stop any t-shirt trend in its tracks, which would you end? What trend would you like to see started?
The one trend I could do without is the faux long sleeves sewn into the short sleeve so it looks like you have 2 shirts on.  Yeah, you're not foolin' any one with that bub!  One I would like to see started is musical shirts!  You could lift up your arms and it would play "Dare to be Stupid" by Weird Al!    *Crickets*    It will catch on, I can be patient...

Would you rather slay a dragon or fly one?
Fly one, for sure!  If I had a dragon at my side, man I could jump to the front of the line pretty much anywhere I go!  And my commute to work would be like 10 minutes!  Although, I am not sure where he'd stay when I am at home and I really don't want to worry about picking up dragon poop...  Hmm, I may have to reconsider this and get back to you...

Bigfoot vs. yeti: which would win the battle?
Yeti.  They are usually around the Nepal/Tibet regions, so they have probably trained with Monks in Tibet, giving him an edge over Bigfoot, who has probably only trained in Karate from a dojo in Seattle...  Bigfoot doesn't stand a chance!  Unless Mr. Miyagi stops by and teaches him the crane kick...

Describe the first shirt you ever designed.
I believe it was a relatively simple yet highly photo-shopped design I came up with for a get together YEARS ago.  It actually didn't turn out too bad, but I have definitely gotten better at this whole design thing...

What has been your most inspiring art experience?
Wow, I cannot think of just one!  So many things inspire me and it usually happens at random times.  Some of my best ideas come to me when I am just zoning out!  But being in my favorite places (Disneyland, San Francisco, any place there is air, etc.) definitely does help the process along!

Any shout outs?
I am tired of shouting...  My throat hurts...  Maybe a good wave to everyone that is reading this!  Thank you everyone!
