What other interests do have besides t-shirt art?
I love stencil art, it's so raw and hands on and produces such untamed results. Really it's the modern equivalent of cave drawings.
What's being a print designer like? I mean with the internet millions of people can potentially see your work--but in print, if your work is in a high traffic area millions of people will actually see your work. It's like a kinetic vs. potential energy thing. Once it comes off the press, it's kinetic.
What would the now Thomas tell the Thomas from 10 years ago? Oh man, the 17 year old me and the year is 1999? I'd say invest as much cash as you possibly can in apple and amazon. Then take what's left and put it all on the Patriots to win the 2001 superbowl, that was like 14:1 that year. No... wait, did I learn nothing from Biff in back to the future 2? Forget it, I'll just tell myself to enjoy the matrix, but skip the sequels.
Would you rather survive a zombie apocalypse or a nuclear apocalypse? Explain.
Without question Zombie apocalypse. Honestly, I think it would be so much fun strapping up and taking out flesh-eaters all day long. Maybe I could Madmax it up and sup up my car with spikes, a plow and flame throwers. I mean living in America, first sign that things are going south you can hit up a walmart and go to town with everything from guns to canned food.
Nuclear apocalypse on the other hand, your skin could melt off... or you could just die painfully of leukemia or something 10 years later. Plus you'd probably be sterile, as one of the few it'd be up to me to repopulate.
Do you collect anything, or at least have any OCD about anything?
CDs. And not the good kind from the bank--the cheap plastic kind. I have to have close to 2000 give or take, I wouldn't say it's an OCD, more like a outdated library.
How did you get your start in art?
Cartoons & Crayons.
Any advice for aspiring designers?
I know it sounds like corn-ball guidance counselor b.s. but there really is no job too small. Coming out of school I did a lot of really low paying gigs, freebies and trades. And you'll learn from your experiences, because people will cheat & low ball you when you're green--but just keep at it with your nose to the grindstone and eventually it will start to pay off.
Any shout outs?
This one's for Mom, the woman who showed me Muppets, Bugs Bunny and Edward Gorey.
