Why kids tshirts?
Because my male biological clock is ticking
What type of kid wears your tshirt?
Kids without parental supervision.
And your ideal buyer is?
Cool parents, cool siblings and crazy aunts. i remember my mom bought me a shirt when i was 10 years old that had 9 skeleton skateboarders on it. their heads were holograms and whenever you looked at the head from side to side its eyes would bulge out and the tongue would stick out. in the center of the tee it said in shitty graffiti bubble letters "34th st." she got it for me at macys. it was the raddest shirt i have ever owned. a week later my friend and i were smashing spray paint cans in our garage and i slammed a rock on the can and it sprayed pink krylon paint all over me! mom tossed the t away and i was pink for a few days.....i have the best memory btw
Are you worried that your blog might offend a potential buyer, like a parent?
If parents don't buy funny t's for their kids based on what they read on my blog than they can go back to the far too liberal, politically correct, pacific northwest lives and eat organic food and cry about how someone is actually speaking the truth and doesn't give a shit about what they say or who they offend. i keep everything in my life as well as writing as honest as possible with nothing sugar coated. people like honest, that's what they get.
Speaking of parents, is your mom still disappointed by your blog?
My mom just want me to be successful, as any mom wants for her son, but even if you're the president of the usa it's still not good enough. she's supportive, but would probably have wanted me to finish college or follow through with my dreams of becoming a comedic actor (theres still time) rather than be an "artist". i always wanted to go to med school to become a plastic surgeon (was my goal as a kid) but decided to smoke pot and draw beavis and butthead style cartoons. she hates my blog by the way.
Where does the money from the Tshirts go?
Well i'm clean and sober so it doesn't go to a bar or dealer. the money goes into my business account which then goes to pay my parents back for the loan i took from them. so if you're reading this, go buy my tee's. the last thing i need is for them to do is charge interest fees.
Why should people buy your shirts vs someone else's shirts?
They should buy ed hardy. that's all i wear. support diamond encrusted tattoo flash art on t's!! support blood diamonds!!. not something crafted by hand drawings and hand printing.
Everybody is sick of this topic about the recession, but how is it affecting you?
It really sucks right now. i get defeated and my confidence level goes to below average just about everyday when i check my website emails, but i try to stay positive. at times i wonder if it's me, then i have to remember it's the economy and that no one is buying, not even chain dept stores! that's why i took a loan to start this company. i hope i get more orders so i don't have to stop this company and work at home depot. it's hard even getting freelance art work at companies that rip me off!
Whats your 2009 game plan?
Starting jan 1st. i'm writing a book based off my blog. i've been encouraged by dave black and hak for the past year to write one and they're the only people i listen to, so i took their advice and i'm writing one! i have a title, format, layout and general idea of what it's about and what it will look like. trust me, it's gonna be bizarre. it's even going to come with an activity book! it might take a year to do, but i work really hard at making my blog the best it can be with new and fresh stories and images updayed every few hours and day, so this book is going to be an extension of the blog times 10!!!.....also need to finish these 2 screen plays i've had in mind for a year or two now and would love to shoot the short of one story at the end of winter. it's a funny short piece. all my friends are in the cast which i made sure of. i only care about my friends and family and want everyone to be a part of my life as much as possible so made sure that everyone has a part in it. i would do ANYTHING for the wonderful and supportive people i have in my life. what's the point of having inspiring, supportive people in your life if you can't have them be a part of your vision?
also i 2009 i hope to finally get my big break and write for a living. i'm pretty bored of drawing these days.
What type of girl do you want to meet in 2009?
The only girl i'm looking for in the new year is a female beagle puppy.....but if i can't get that then a black chick with a fucked up weave would be just fine.
And the new york music scene is...
nyc bands? you mean nyc fashionistas/ scenesters that look cool holding guitars? 80% of the nyc bands blow! it's all based on fashion and the pretentious elite downtown cool scene. not sure how that qualifies as music though? all the music from these bands sound like shit they play in contempo casuals (i have 3 sisters, i know what's up)....i listen to slipknot and korn. i like the nyc group gang gang dance though. they're talented.
