TeXt Marks The Spot

This was a lot of fun. I got to work with Johan, a French blogger, and my mother, a French translator. It didn’t hurt that the French artist, SKWAK, is one of my favorites.

SKWAK is back! Technically, he never went away. He’s actually been pretty busy, and his current schedule includes new toys, new tees and a show. Johan of the French art blog Some Cool Stuff recently interviewed SKWAK. If you can read French, bookmark his site and read the entire interview here. Alas, I cannot read French. Luckily my mom is fluent and was happy to translate. Johan asked SKWAK excellent and thoughtful questions about his art, style, mind and world. SKWAK reports back on an 8-inch Dunny with Kidrobot (!), an upcoming mini-figures series with MINDstyle (!!), an American animation project (!!!) and maybe even some porn (???). So with props to Johan and my mom (who is now a SKWAK fan and too-kindly likened my habit of cramming pages with words to Skwak’s style of “too much”), here’s the latest news from the Maniac World.
