WOW. Let me start out by saying that I got to see this man speak, about a five days ago. I got his AMAZING BOOK, which is gorgeous, flat black, even the threading is black. It is beyond totally fucking narley. However, I want to post this old interview of him (pre stash). He is so amazingly cool, and when he speaks you listen. His presence is undeniable, and he makes you want to leave the conference and conquer the world! Literally.I have never met an artist so determined to "FUCK the MAN," but ended up successful. He has won emmys, been published numerous times in TIME MAGAZINE, THE TIMES, etc, etc. But he knows that the real joy of being an artist is not about what everyone tells you to be. It's about following your heart, mind and soul, on what you think is cool. And, the rest will come. HE actually turns down clients for graphic design! It's his way or the highway. I respect his art and more importantly his words of wisdom. What An AWESOME MAN! Starving Artists out there, DON'T EVER GIVE UP! AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, DON'T SELL OUT!
