Where you
currently reside:
I'm currently living in Los Angeles
Music you
listen to:
The music I listen to can be split into two genre's: Epic Mood
Rock (Such as Explosions In the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai,
M83 etc.) and Electronica/IDM (Aphex Twin, Autechre, Schematic
Records, Squarepusher, Warp Records etc.) And then I also listen
to NPR, but I don't really think that constitutes as "music"
Artists you're
into:
I find myself being drawn to the work of my contemporaries, in
particular those whose work contains strong illustrative elements. At
the moment. I'm excited by the works of Chiho Aoshima, Marcel Dzama,
Jeremy Fish, Camille Rose Garcia, Barry McGee, Takeshi Murakami, Yoshitomo
Nara, Mark Ryden, and Ralph Steadman (to name a few).
Things that
inspire you:
Asides for general life experience, conversations with family
and friends, and things I see on television, I think I'm most inspired
by the work of my artist friends.
Top 5 favorite
words:
Fuck
Shit
Sardonic
Esoteric
Forlorn
Books you
read:
Lately I've been studying a lot of art books for ideas since
I'm putting together my own book (to be released this September).
