How was it working with Vans, for the warped tour?
“Surreal” I guess is the best answer. I kinda went from doing posters for local shows in LA, to have my work being seen throughout the US and Canada in a couple of months – after they hired me. For the first three years they took me on the tour and had me do signings in each city. I got paid to sign posters, watch bands play and drink beer. The kind of stuff they didn’t cover in art school. I’m fortunate that they hire me each year. This year I pulled double duty and designed the logo and collateral art for the tour as well as two posters for one of their sponsors – KIA. How did you first get into art? I grew up in the Mid West part of the United States. Attended a Catholic grade school and met one of my lifelong friends there who influenced me greatly in the types of music I listened to then and now. As a teenager I went to the only Arts high school in Milwaukee, WI. I studied Art there for 4 years. (Jeffrey Dahmer lived a few blocks away and ate two of my classmates. Useless trivia)
