???Describe your style in three (two syllable) words. JET LEE meets MAN RAY.
How hard do you really work? OBSESIVELY, I hate sleeping
when there are ideas in my
head….
The future of design? Less sparkle, more reason.
Procrastination is... A word I have never heard of,
what is that, some kind of Udon
Noodle ????
Driving force?
The images that keep popping
into my head – driving me crazy
until I shoot them….
Style. Discuss.
It’s an inner thing, you don’t
need a budget to ‘got-it’.
Give or take? Give. For the past fifteen
years I have done a lot of
voluntary work, it has been
an inspiration to me – these
have been community based
voluntary projects working with
underprivileged children, the
homeless, on environmental
and civil liberty projects. I have
met the most amazing, strong
and beautiful people.
17
Incorrect things you believed as a child.STICKY ONE THIS... but it would
have to be I was taught that
there is only one god to believe
in, then I found out that there
were in fact loads – then I
realised just how many stars
there are out there and how
many planets were spinning
around them – we are the only
ones - PLEASE….
Before I die...I want to finish my work.
Your favourite flaw. Laughing inappropriately.
What is the best thing you’ve ever destroyed? My Own Work In Frustration.
Your favourite waste of time?
Walking barefoot on grass,
sounds daft but it always makes
me smile.
I am reading...Craig Horsfield – RELATION,
heavy but heavenly – after 23
years working as an artist, my
brain still has difficulty coping
with the theory of why I do it.
You would be mad not to... Stop, breath slowly, take a look
around and wonder.
Most visited online hideout? The back end of my own
website uploading new work –
scary!

???Describe your style in three (two syllable) words.Minimal, colourful collage
What is your favourite method to date?Scissors, UHU stick and hands.
What’s in your near future?I’m in the process of
transforming my friends
shed into a screen-printing
facility, fingers crossed it all
goes according to plan.
Also preparations for winter
hibernation and getting loads
of work done
My number one tip is... Persistence….
Driving force?Staying sane and chasing
the dream of a quiet place
somewhere in the desert with
my girlfriend and our future
dogs.
Most under worn item of clothing?I bought some amazing beige
Italian shoes a few month ago
from a car boot, think I’ve only
worn them once, might go put
them on now.
I wish I could dislike...Hoarding so much other
people’s old stuff.
Give or take?You have to do both if not you’ll
use up all your karma points
and something really bad will
happen to you.
Incorrect things you believed as a child.That shitting in my toy box and
using the poo to redecorate the
hall was totally acceptable, oh
the shame.
Twitter?
I’ve got an account but still not
too sure about the whole thing,
besides I only get porn people
following me, the scumbags!
Worst thing I ever forgot...Peoples names, that part of my
brain only works 50% of the time.
Your favourite waste of time? Coffee, car boot sales and
buying dead peoples stuff.
Scary?Our chav neighbours when they
fight.
I am reading...Bukowski, he is a legend!

???What is your favourite method to date? Working at night, listening to
music, creating some art.
How hard do you really work? When I work at night and
nobody is bothering me I can
work for hours, usually 3 or 4
days a week…I need to be
inspired though, otherwise I just
make a mess.
What’s in your near future? I am planning to exhibit in
London soon. Then I planning
on exhibiting a collection of
urban London landscapes in
Mexico next year.
Nature or nurture?
Both. Developing your skill is
necessary if you have a gift.
Driving force?I don’t know. I’ve thought about
it in the past but couldn’t find
an answer… I just like it!
Uncontrollable gestures?
I bite my nails
I wish I could dislike...Junk food
Incorrect things you believed as a child. I thought that tiny singers lived
inside our stereo. Once I tried
to feed them by putting some
jelly inside, well, stereos were big
enough back then!
Before I die...I want to be absolutely happy …
doesn’t everyone?
Twitter? I haven’t been dragged into
that yet]
My dream is...To make a living out of art.
Favorite song?‘A Day in the Life’ by the Beatles
What is the best thing you’ve ever destroyed?
My first guitar
Scary? Flying on a plane
I am reading...McCarthy’s ‘No Country for
Old Men’…. I haven’t seen the
movie yet… it’s more interesting
that way.

From the Espeluzland biography...Axtor Disney was an american
cartoonist, illustrator, musician,
and magician. Elder brother of
Walter E. and Roy O. Disney, he
along with his brothers founded
The Walt Disney Company in
1923.
After many heated and
sometimes violent discussions,
mostly due to his very peculiar
and strange work methods,
and especially because of his
children illustrations which can
only be described as ‘queer’, he
was fired from his own company
and expelled from the core of
the Disney family itself, situation
that made him change his very
own last name from Disney to
“Majesto” (paying tribute to a
bum from his neighborhood).
His brothers made sure to wipe
each and every piece of work
that could credit his existence,
burning all his sketches and
his macabre collection of
deformed animals.
Secluded in the darkness
and mentally supressed, Axtor
decides to give birth to a new
company named “Espeluzland”
in order to compete with the
overly friendly and fantastic
world of his new enemies, the
Disney brothers. The failure
was resounding. Deprived
of any trace of honor, and
overwhelmed by debt and the
constant harassment by the
right-minded organizations of
the time, he withdrew himself
again into his ancient and now
abandoned castle, to which
he referred to as his great
unfulfilled dream “Espeluzland”,
where he dwelt until his
mysterious disappearance.
Very few traces remain of his
artistic legacy, and all that
prevails is the legend. Not many
years ago it was known that
there was a secret organization
whose only purpose was to
find the missing work of Axtor
Majesto, to preserve it and show
it to the world through their
website:
ESPELUZLAND.COM
It is because of this organization
that part of the work of this
deeply perturbed but brilliant
artist reaches our hands, and
yet it is nothing but a small
part of the vast and unknown
universe that resided in sick
mind.

???Describe your style in three (two syllable) words.Nerdy, clumsy, teenage
How hard do you really work?Not as much as I would like
to. I work in digital arts, mostly
newspaper and magazines
design, spending all day on
that. Sadly I’m interested in
almost everything related to
plastic arts, so I would like
to have 120h per day to do
everything comes across and
not always having this feeling
that I’m out of time.
What’s in your near future?I’m going to start a
collaboration on a digital
magazine for children; based
on comics and illustration,
where I’ll have my own section
about child superheroes.
Nature or nurture?Nurture, of course! Thinking
that only nature is important,
serves only to frustrate oneself. It
makes you believe you couldn’t
do things that you would like
instead of working hard to
achieve your own goals.
Where’s your head at?I guess I could say I’m into Todd
Solondz way of life. Also I’ve
been recently researching on
morphopsychology and trying
to find a way to illustrate human
stereotypes by associating
common facial features with
certain types of people.
Uncontrollable gestures?My eyebrows always betray me
exposing my real feelings about
something. That makes a lot of
trouble for me.
I wish I could dislike...Cheerleader and teenage
movies. I just love them,
although, in general, they are
against my principles.
44
Incorrect things you believed as a child.I used to believe that bird-
doctors (aka vets) were other
birds instead of humans, and
that they were wearing extra
small white coats and doctor
stuff hanging on their ‘necks’.
And yes: the same thing with
dogs, cats and fishes...
Your favourite flaw.I always get upset thinking
someone has stolen my purse
or cellphone, knowing that I
ALWAYS find it in my bag three
seconds before I yell out and
loud ‘someone has stolen my
purse!’ or ‘Crap! I’ve lost my
phone!’
Twitter?
Sure! @eunicinha
What is the best thing you’ve ever destroyed?It would be nice to say it was
someone’s heart but I think it
was a washing machine...
Worst thing I ever forgot...“Worst thing I’ve ever
remembered” would be the
right question, since I NEVER
remember anything. I’m like that
little Dory fish in Finding Nemo.
Your favourite waste of time?Watching reality shows, and
looking people’s pictures in
Facebook: that’s almost the
same kind of P.P. (personal
pornography).
Scary?A lot. I’m afraid to everything
that cannot be seen. Like spirits,
dead peoples’ souls, blah, bleh,
blih.
I am reading...Obras Incompletas by Gloria
Fuertes.

???What is your favourite method to date?I love working in collage,
directly, without thinking very
much, only with a few basic
guidelines about the idea and
format... always using original
images, to give more value to
the piece.
How hard do you really work?Fortunately I work many hours
a day. I am the founder of
a study of creativity called
PobrelaVaca, and my work is
hard but entertaining and very
comforting. When I finish my
work on the studio, I arrive home
and make all my collages and
illustrations, so I´m working all
day!!
What’s in your near future?I have an exhibition coming up
in which I´m really focussed,
with new works in big format.
Also in the coming months I’m
giving a workshop on collage,
so my near future is very busy.
The future of design?The future of design is
specialisation, the commitment
for being better and for not
losing the values that we have.
The future is the solidarity,
the development, and the
collaboration between all. So,
with the force that has our
message, to create a better
world.
Where’s your head at? Right now I am doing some
works in big format, making
stencil on collage. A very
meticulous but nice work, so my
head is now in it.
Most under worn item of clothing?My Vans. Old but confortable.
Give or take?I believe that in the life it is
necessary to give. The person
who only thinks about receiving
is an idiot. We have to try to
give everything possible of us
ourselves.
Before I die...Before dying, I would like to
be reconciled with those with
whom I’ve got angry. I would not
like to die without reconciling.
Your favourite flaw.
My best shortcoming is
continuing to behave as a child.
I suppose it’s this spirit of Peter
Pan that evades all of once
we see that we already are 30
years old.
51
Twitter? No thanks, It´s horrible. I like to
see my friends, drink a beer and
talk. Twitter is against all that.
Twitter is just another way to
take the control of our life.
My dream is...My dreams are very current, I’m
not ambitious but I’m a hard-
working person, so I put myself
on goals that, in the short or
long term, I will be able to
realize.
What is the best thing you’ve ever destroyed?I use old (very old) magazines
for my collages. The first time a
cut one, I was one hour with the
scissors on my hands thinking
about if it was right or wrong.
Then I cut it!!! It was a magazine
from 1936 about the Spanish
Civil War.
Your favourite waste of time? When I have free time, which is
rare, I like being with the people
that I love, with my wife, my dog,
my friends... Those that deserve
my free time, not the television
or similar weapons of mass
destruction.
I am reading...“The legend of Mother Sarah”
by Katshuhiro Otomo. It´s really
one of my favourites.
You would be mad not to...I would be mad if I was not
trying to be riskier and riskier, if
I was not trying to give myself
more and more difficult goals.
If I was content with the easy
thing or with what comes to us
given, I would be mad.

???How hard do you really work? I definitely fluctuate haha,
sometimes I’ll be psyched to
work and am very industrious
and other times I’ll have no
motivation and just want to be
lazy and chill.
What’s in your near future? Hopefully, dreams and plans
come to fruition and I release
my own tee/fashion label, so
keep your eyes and ears open
for that one and am about to
start long overdue work on an
official portfolio site for myself.
My number one tip is... Worrying is like a rocking chair, it
gives you something to do, but
it doesn’t get you anywhere.
The future of design?Is always influenced by the past.
The past is always my first port
of call for inspiration.
Driving force?I’ll give you two, Gravity and
Desire
Last time you gagged inappropriately. Few days ago, listening to
a novice middle aged lady
and wise 20 year old guy talk
about Warcraft with their official
Warcraft handbooks in tow on
the train. They spoke with such
excitement and fervour that the
jargon filled conversation kept
me captivated for 40 minutes
and I hate video games haha.
Style. Discuss. In the words of Oscar Wilde, “In
matters of grave importance,
style, not sincerity, is the vital
thing.”
Before I die...I want to look back and say ‘I
lived it’.
57
Your favourite flaw. Always having to win an
argument/debate.
Twitter? Could be a useful tool but I’m
too blinded by my hate for it.
Too much pointless babble.
Predicting the fad will blow over
in approximately 8 months.
My dream is... To live the dream
Create your own question... In the name of shameless self promotion, if someone wished to view more of your work or contact you?
They could check out my
portfolio at
www.behance.net/arcadiacreative
What is the best thing you’ve ever destroyed? My reputation haha no I would
say my first car, it was simple
and effective, loved it but all
good things must come to an
end and after two collisions, the
blue bullet finally died.
Your favourite waste of time?
Movies, I deserve VIP status
at my local video store and
cinema.
I am reading... Latest issue of ‘T – The Journal
of T-Shirt Culture’ magazine that
I received in the mail today.

???What is your favourite method to date? Acrylic on Masonite. The paint
just blends so nicely.
How hard do you really
work?
There’s 27 hours in a day, right?
Procrastination is... Sitting around and twiddling
ones thumbs? Time waits for no
one folks.
Nature or nurture? Don’t they kind of mean the
same thing? If we nurture
nature, doesn’t nature nurture
us?
Where’s your head at? Firmly planted, but that doesn’t
mean it isn’t in the clouds.
Last time you gagged inappropriately. A few days ago when my cat
left me a gooey treasure on
my flip-flops (but that could be
considered an appropriate &
justified gag)
Style. Discuss.
Addams family meets Amelie.
Stripy knee socks, and a bit of
vintage goodness.
I wish I could dislike... music from the 20s-40s. it makes
me feel really old. I mean, what
am I going to listen to when I
am 80?
Incorrect things you believed as a child. Well you see, I had this army
of tiny toy soldiers who lived in
my closet, and if i tried to leave
my bedroom in the dark, they
would always grab me by the
ankles & pull me back in. i still
have to turn the light on in the
hallway occasionally, because,
well...you just never know!
Twitter? Why yes, thank you.
twitter.com/pepprmintforest
My dream is... to keep my loved ones (two-
legged & four-legged) forever
and ever. And a second home
in a little French village, like in
the movie Chocolat =)
Your favourite waste of time? People watching. They come in
so many curious shapes and
sizes.
Scary? When the dog stares into a
room like it sees something you
don’t. Terrifying.
I am reading... the composer is dead!
You would be mad not to...
Make the most of your life =) I
don’t understand why some just
opt to “exist”!

???Describe your style in three (two syllable) words. Cutting, sticking, drawing.
What is your favourite method to date? Cutting and sticking is my
favourite. I like to create images
using a collage and mixed
media approach, mixing hand-
drawn elements with all kinds of
papers and fabrics.
How hard do you really work?Harder than a very hard rock.
The future of design? Like the past of design, but with
more flying cars.
Procrastination is... A problem which exists only
during daylight hours. I’m
always super motivated in the
middle of the night.
Nature or nurture?Where’s your head at?
Driving force?Most under worn item of
clothing?
Style. Discuss. Style is skinny jeans, big sunnies,
a ring on every finger and
hands covered in glue.
I wish I could dislike... Paper! I’m like some kind of
magpie - I hoard anything that
could be used in my work; I
can’t bear to throw a single
piece away. My collection is
threatening to take over the
whole house.
72
Incorrect things you believed as a child. That power plants with smoky
chimneys were cloud factories,
and that clouds were made of
candyfloss; I used to want to
climb out of aeroplanes to eat
them. That when people died in
films, they died in real life. That
if I dug a hole deep enough,
I’d end up in Australia. That my
mum would live forever.
Your favourite flaw? My tendency to exaggerate
everything – it makes for some
pretty interesting stories - and
perfectionism. It’s a love/
hate relationship. Oh, and my
double-jointed thumbs. They
freak people out.
Twitter? Yep! @madiillustrates Follow
meeee!
My dream is... To be a successful illustrator.
To have a children’s book
published. To travel to Australia.
New Zealand. Canada. Japan.
Ireland. To save up enough
money to buy a tortoise. To build
a treehouse. To inspire someone.
Worst thing I ever forgot... was how to remember.
Your favourite waste of time? Feeding the ducks. It’s not
my most common time-
waster, but it’s definitely my
favourite. Collaging monsters is
becoming a bit of a habit too.
Scary? Dogs. Even the tiny ones.
You would be mad not to... Wear odd socks.

???What is your favourite method to date?Digital caricatures painted with
Photoshop.
How hard do you really work?As hard as I need to. When I
begin a project, I like to see it
through to completion, even if
it doesn’t look good. At least in
that case, I know what not to do
next time.
My number one tip is... Figure out what you do best,
then figure out how to do it
better.
Procrastination is... The death of inspiration.
Where’s your head at? I’ve been accused in the past of
having it stuck somewhere dark
and unmentionable, but really,
most of the time it’s thinking
about drawing.
Style. Discuss. Style is simply the distilled
accumulation of all your
various inspirations and bad
habits. If you’re smart, you’ll
figure out how to turn this into
something unique and original.
I know some artists will hunt out
whatever the latest hot trend is
and try to copy it. The problem
with working this way is there
a thousand other artists doing
the exact same thing. It’s far
better to be a trend-setter than
a trend-follower.
Uncontrollable gestures? I tap my foot a lot when sitting
still.
I wish I could dislike...G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, but
God help me, I liked it.
Incorrect things you believed as a child. There was a church near
my home that resembled
Cinderella’s castle. I was
convinced that it was the
gateway to DisneyWorld.
Twitter? Way too much (follow me @
markdraws).
Format?Until they invent a paintbrush
with an undo key, I’m sticking
with all-digital.
Create your own question... Why caricatures?A long time ago, I used to
draw quick-sketch caricatures
at street art fairs and private
parties in order make a few
bucks. In the years that have
followed I’ve done all manner of
design and illustration work, but
it’s always been drawing goofy
pictures of people that has
interested me most.
I am reading...Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan
Lethem.
Most visited online hideout? It’s a toss-up between Flickr and
DeviantArt.

artists
What’s in your near future? An animated short
The future of design? More technical skill and less
abstract crap I hope.
Procrastination is... Never completely avoidable but
maybe we can learn to control
it?
Driving force? The next level
Uncontrollable gestures? Laughing at people when they
express their hate for stuff
Incorrect things you believed as a child.
Life was fair!
Before I die... Falling through a cloud might
be cool?
Your favourite flaw. Honesty… Honestly!
Twitter? Just filling in your twitter
