How did you
become a designer?
After moving to NYC to become a world famous artist
didn't work out I picked the next best thing,
graphic design. I love design in any form. Form
is flow. No matter if its printed images and words,
a painting or drawn image, a beautiful building
or a chair..... even a landscaped garden. When
you see good design you just feel it. You are
drawn to it. At least I am, so I wanted to do
that in some aspect.
Where are
you from originally?
Miami (pronounced Mejammie) moved to New York
in 2001, and now back in Miami again.
Who were your main influences growing
up?
Mr.T, BMX, Han Solo, Metal Music, Smurfs, The
Greatest American Hero, Thrasher Magazine, Jim
West, Barnaby Jones, Family and Friends.
Did you go to art school/college or are
you self-taught?
I taught myself to draw after being jealous of
a classmates hot rod drawing skills in 5th grade.
I did go to school for Graphic Design but felt
it was a waste of money.
Any
advice or tips to novice designers?
Don't follow design trends MAKE design trends.
Forget what is hot right now, or what everyone
else is doing. Lead don't follow. Have an open
mind and listen to others opinions about your
work. Do your best every time no matter how small
a job. Destroy your TV. Work, Work, Work. Listen
to that little voice inside your head.
What has been the most rewarding and challenging
project you have worked on?
A book of my own artwork.
What
is your favorite portfolio piece? Why?
All of them.
What American art
or artist inspires you most?
LeRoy Neiman, he influenced me very early on when
I saw his Olympic prints they were giving away
at McDonalds in the 70's. He mostly paints sports
which i don't care for but his style is amazing.
Also like John Singer Sargent and a whole lot
o' other dead people. |
