Tell everyone a little bit about yourself...

I love art. I founded Over It & Co. I came to London to make my fortune.

Favourite 3 albums of all time?

This question is super hard! I could never say my favourite 3 albums, so i'm going to indirectly not answer your question...I’m a big fan of mix tapes. So my favourite mixtapes of late are Martelo’s best of the noughties, a series of gangbang mix tapes from DELS and tony touch’s jams.

oh my bad, you said three...

Meat or veg?

Veg. Haven’t eaten meat properly for over 10 years.

So, we do kicks. Kicks is what we do. What were your first pair?

I think they were reebok classics. I’m grew up in a small town. Don’t judge me.

With that in mind, (or maybe not!), who’s your style icon?

Pat butcher and Slick Rick.

OK, turning to work… you have a chance to work with anyone you
want, who? Why?

I would have gone on a photographic surrealist adventure with Lee Miller and Man Ray, but they are both deceased, so that’s not going to happen. I would love to jam with Steve Powers and talk about Coney Island and love letters. His public art excites more than most work I’ve seen over the last couple of years. I’d also jump at the chance to sit down with Peter Blake and Eduardo Paolozzi and make some collages, but I’d have to settle with just Peter Blake as Mr Paolozzi is making collages in heaven.

Where do you find inspiration?

Everywhere and nowhere.

Now from work, to play: where can we find you in the summer time?

Most of summer 2010 will be spent on the roof of my studio, reading all the art books that I’ve neglected. Working in my studio. Seeking inspiration in galleries. Chillin’ in parks. Getting on a jet plane to LA for a few weeks.

Actually let’s better that, if you had to go and live in another
country FOREVER, where would you fly & why?

I couldn’t live in one place forever! I like exploring and falling in love with cities too much. But if I HAD to live in another country FOREVER, I’m move to a tropical island and build a Swiss Family Robinson house. No other city could match London, so I’d have to go for the polar opposite.

Can you speak any languages to get by?

I thought I could speak the smallest bit of French however on a recent trip to Paris I realized I can’t. My French is terrible. So, no, just straight up English, which is pretty tragic.

If you were stuck there, you couldn’t leave – what song would keep
you going nuts?

Talking Heads – This Must be the Place.

Err, what kind of nuts?

Brazil nuts. They’re a super food innit.

And you’re still there, still stuck in the perfect abyss - what
could you just not live without?

Cuppa Tea. Earl grey. Milk. No sugar.

OK, you’re out of solitary confinement, let’s have some fun -
what's the first thing you notice on a bloke?

Teeth. I’m in sucker for a dude with fucked up teeth. Gold tooth.
Cracked tooth. Half a tooth. Fanged tooth. Missing tooth. All drive me
crazy.

And on fellow girls, what do you check out?

Always the booty. Girls with too much junk in their trunk rule.

Everyone’s got someone right – so who’s the person you find hot
but you really shouldn't?

Goldie. Some people get it. Some people don’t. He’s got a mouth full
of gold teeth, don’t get much better for me.

OK, work done, play is over. That was quick. Finishing up, mature
hats at the ready – looking back, if you could give a younger version
of yourself advice, what would it be?

Don’t give a fuck about what people think of you. Be focused on your
craft. Make your work your world. Have fun. Kiss boys.

So finally, you may have already achieved a lot, you may have
plenty more dreams to fulfill… but years down the line – how do you
want your epitaph to read?

‘In it to win it.’ Gotta give some good vibes to whoever is reading it
innit? When you're dead it ain't about you anymore.
