me_otch - The A's to Our Q's
Age: 31
Hometown: Lake Charles, Louisiana
Where do you now live?: Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Where would you most like to live?: Paris or Hong Kong
Who was your first "hero" in life?: Han Solo
What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: Work on my street art
What is your favorite color?: Green
Who (or what) do you love?: I love waking up and having so many ideas that I can't possibly do everything in the next week.
Who and/or what are some of your influences?
I spent almost a month in Hong Kong last year and I was really blown away by their print ads and billboards. I really enjoy the facial expressions in their advertising. People look way too excited.
What other artists do you most admire?
Right now I really love Loretta Lux's photography. I've always been a huge fan of Ralph Eugene Meatyard. As far as street art goes, I always look for Swoon's work.
How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?
Wheat pasted cut-outs of characters that see everything you do.
What other talent would most like to have?
I wish I could play the piano. I grew up in Louisiana listening to great jazz and all types of other music that has had an incredible impact on my life. I've played guitar for 15+ years now but lately I really wish I could play the piano.
What do you fear the most?
Ignorant people that try to run things their way and think they know what is best for the rest of us.
What is your greatest ambition?
Above all else I would really like to be at a point in life where I have the freedom to constantly create and make new pieces without the stress of trying to make a buck so I can eat tomorrow and pay rent.
