I do think that copyrights and intellectual property are important - it's important to be able to keep people from making verbatim copies of a particular creation that could somehow hurt the creator. If I spend time conceiving and making a piece of art and somebody else sees that it has market value and replicates it in order to steal part of my market, then that's not cool.

The way I make art, the way a lot of people make art, is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.

Creating is about sharing ideas, sharing aesthetics, sharing what you believe in with other people.

I think the Internet has definitely made it easier for people to have stuff seen, but it's also encouraged a level of ADD, where you see so much that if it doesn't make an impact on you immediately, you don't look at it.

The world has lost a great musician who will always be an inspiration to me and those at OBEY GIANT.

I've never really considered myself just a street artist. I consider myself a populist.

I wear some of my stuff, but usually the less in-your-face designs. I get a little self conscious, there is a fine line between pride and ego.
