Tyler was considerate enough to take the time to answer my questions promptly, using Facebook as our means of communication. I felt as though an email could get lost, however contacting him on his Facebook page was more direct and friendly, however less professional. I wanted this creative report to turn out fun and relaxed rather than too serious and 'corporate'.
What is your favourite animal?
My dog Patch. He is a one eyed terrier mix. He just has so much energy and is always in such a spunky mood.
What influenced your creative style?
I think it was a combination of: horror movies, surfing, video games, George Carlin, Electric Wizard, candy, Wolfgang Weingart, Baldessari, Ozzie Wright, among others.
What drove you away from Psychology and towards a creative field?
While I loved learning about Psychology, I couldnt see myself listening to peoples problems and directing their life. It seemed very depressing. I always loved creating things and I would rather effect peoples lives through art instead of advice.
What is your personal favourite piece of work to date?
I honestly dont have one. I look at my entire catalog as one continuous piece.
Did owning a punk venue inspire any of your designs?
I think that experience was an ingredient among many others that influence everything I do.
How would you present the content of this interview if you was in my position?
I would print out your 10 favorite pieces and tile them on the wall of your classroom. The more the merrier.
Now, I must take these questions and use them creatively. My main area of interest is editorial, therefore a publication is the most appealing idea at the moment. I feel it will be the most suitable method of laying out the information I have, even though there is not a large amount of text. I must think of a short and snappy concept which is appropriate to how I have communicated with Tyler and which sums up his personality and work.
