What can you tell us about your design on the edding Art Series markers?
It’s a pattern i designed that is based on Tiger stripes, with densely illustrated elements.  It was originally used for the front cover of EDTN magazine secret wars issue and as edding are also affiliated with SW I thought it was appropriate to use it one more time on the art series marker.

Which (artists/designers/illustrators etc) have been (or are) your greatest influences (dead or alive)?
I grew up skateboarding and used to love Jim Phillips’ work for Santa Cruz.  Also a big fan of Rick Griffins pychedelic poster art and his surf comics from the 60’s

Where is the best place that you have worked and why?
Tokyo. Its mind blowing.

Who are your usual artistic partners?
Alfa, Jimi Crayon, Stika…the usual Monorex suspects

What other brands/companies have you worked for?
Over the years I’ve worked with Reebok, Addict, Umbro, Red Bull, Adidas…the list goes on and on.
