/>Judith Supine:

“My moniker is a homage to both my mother and the
act of creation. Judith is my mother’s forename and supine(lying on the back
with the face upward) is the birthing posture. The idea for this nom de plume
was a result of my brother and me laughing about the idea of my mom getting
arrested for my acts of vandalism.”

/>“Monster Project was conceived as a way to play with and capitalize on the
idea of good placement in outdoor, illegal art. The goal was always to
compliment more than vandalize. The Monster character was initially influenced
by some traditional imagery from the American Northwest, which, in retrospect,
seems highly inappropriate considering the project itself was heavily reliant
upon New England’s dilapidated industrial landscape. The Monster was conceived
as a sort of mythical beast that ate “City” and appeared wherever the city got
so run down it became beautiful again; the monster was intended to give a face
to what we found interesting in the urban decay. Basically, it was a project
using a monster. The focus was never the image itself, but rather to encourage
people to look more at the city around them. We haven’t done a monster in almost
a year, but we still have friends who say, “Oh, I saw this great spot to do a
monster,” and in that sense, we don’t even need to do one there because they
already saw it.”

“I liked the idea of giving
meaning to something that previously had no meaning. Inventing my own word and
then anything i did under that name would contribute to that words meaning, an
accumulative affect.

So i chose YOK, thinking i had made it from part
of a Japanese first name and it had no meaning. It had good letters, i wanted
something with an O so i could draw faces in the o’s.But i have since discovered
that it means to disagree in Turkish, there is a restaurant in Thailand called
Yok Yor (maybe that means good chicken). So if anyone else knows what it means
write to yok@theyok.com

I guess i wanted it to stand for gargoyles,
that’s why my drawings are loosely based on gargoyles and drawn with wings,
horns, claw hands and feet. Then i started getting carried away by adding
moustaches and beards. Anyway I like the idea of how in medieval times gargoyles
were placed on buildings to ward off evil spirits. So i thought it was fitting
to paint/stick them up high on city walls to ward off evil city jerks.
