DeChazier Stokes-Johnson emailed recently me about a site he recently started called The Marma Spot. It’s an on-going archive of his interviews with creative people – Stefan Sagmeister, Geoff McFetridge, and Soft Gold USA, to name a few. His latest interview is with Mike Mills. Read it here.
Just a quick bit of personal news – the good folks at Hypebeast interviewed me about the release of my shoe for Converse and a bit of my personal background! Read the interview here.
In case you missed it, the charity/launch event is Thursday Feb 19th – Livestock (1709 West 4th Vancouver)! All profits from shoes sold that night will be donated to The Global Fund! Come out and support a good cause and get some shoes to boot (I’m not totally sure if that’s a pun).
Rene Almanza is the latest artist to be profiled on Upper Playground’s Walrus TV. I like what he says about committing an idea to paper, thinking about something too much is like losing it forever.
Here’s a recent interview with two of my favourite artists, Anthony Lister and WK Interact, during their show at Elms Lesters Gallery in London.

The Criterion Edition of Bottle Rocket was released this month and The A.V. Club has just posted a great interview with Wes Anderson. I was surprised to learn that he is a fan of Quentin Tarantino! If you want read about the making of Bottle Rocket and get the scoop on Anderson’s favourite debut movies by other directors head over here.
Moriarty over at Ain’t It Cool News recently posted a great interview with Spike Jonze. If you are half as excited for Where The Wild Things Are as I am you need to read this interview! Now someone just needs to turn Strega Nona into a movie and my life will be complete (I love kids books if you haven’t noticed).
I was gonna post about the amazing artwork of Herbert Baglione and saw that Juxtapoz did me one better and dug up a fantastic interview with Baglione in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The interview is from The Run UP series put together by Fifty24SF Gallery and Upper Playground. Love the opening with Baglione drawing in the sand and the waves erasing the work. “…it’s not what you show people but how it makes you feel inside”.
I snagged a few images of his work, below:
