Artist Interview
Michael Myers Jr. Art curated by jimiyoTell us a bit about your design.
This just seemed like a good fit for nesting dolls. Initially I opted for a more standard layout, where each section was actually cut in half in the traditional matryoshka manner, but was then inspired by Mat Hudsons layout. It was a more elegant solution, and I'm thrilled with how it looks on a tee.
Where are you from?
Ames, Iowa. Smack dab in the middle of the U.S.
What is your favorite song?
Los Angeles, I'm Yours by The Decemberists. Love that song.
If you could create your own cartoon series, what would it be about?
It would be some kind of steampunk/Miyazaki hybrid. I'm in love with Nausicaa, and would really enjoy designing characters in a universe like that.
What is your least favorite thing to do?
Taxes!
Describe the ultimate pet.
It would be a cat with the mannerisms of a well-trained dog. a "dat" or a "cog".
A noted psychic tells you that you're the reincarnation of someone from history. Who would it be?
Leonardo da Vinci. But then the psychic would proceed to tell me that throughout the reincarnation process, 80 percent of da Vinci's talent and genius got lost in the mix. So instead of being able to design amazing flying machines years ahead of their time, I'm able to draw.. kites.
If you could mutate your own DNA, what change would you make?
I'd be able to grow a more full and glorious beard.
