Our 2nd Featured Artist is McBess!

Tell us who you are.
My name is Mcbess , I’m a man , I live in london and I spend my time doing 4 things : ” images , music, eating and sexing ” . I hate to work and being told what to do , I’m 25 and I’ve got a beard .

What question do you hate the most when being interviewed?
” Where does inspiration come from ? ”

You sit down, you grab the tablet pen or mouse, what goes through your mind? what are you listening to? are you wearing pants?
I do wear pants , and I usually don’t listen to music because it makes me dance . I watch series like Trailer Park Boys or The Office , it puts me in a good mood . Nothing goes through my mind , I’m as intelligent as a mouse pad , although I use a tablet and not the mouse so make your own conclusions .

Now answer that question from question #2.
Rah na ! the inspiration come from my long session of running naked into old ladies in busy streets , steal their hand bags and draw gigantic pictures of what ’s inside on the whole of my flat , which makes my girlfriend very mad at me , but you can’t put a price on inspiration for the rest you’ve got mastercard .

What’r your thoughts on laFraise? good, bad? what are your thoughts on design contests in general? (be honest)
Very good , and I’m not lying , I seriously think it’s the best tee shirt competition website I’ve seen , the design are nearly always good which is quite rare . I don’t like contests , I don’t like being judge , that’s why I don’t do sport ( and it’s very exhausting ) , I don’t want my work to be compared . But it’s a question of taste I think , it’s very good for artist to get their break out .

What is your best piece of art to date? which are you the most proud of?
I think it’s Godster , the illustration I’ve done for nobrow , maybe because it’s new , it’s up to date with my feelings and shit.

Favorite animal, least favorite animal? Why? Which do you think would taste the best with a side of mashed potatoes?
I really like cats because it’s soft and sexy , and I don’t like pigeons although I do think they look cool I don’t want them near me when I eat , they’re very disgusting .
Pigeon I guess since people eat it , but I heard cat tastes like rabbit so if it’s true sign me up for it , I would like a sauce of wild mushroom with my mash if possible .

Is there anything else that you are as passionate about as your art?
Music , I’m at least as passionate about music as I am about image . It’s very complimentary , a bit like wine and cheese .

Any current projects/shows/releases you want to advertise?
I’m not sure I can talk about it but I’ve got a book coming out in October if I manage to finish it , it’s an illustrated story , I wrote the story and I’m doing the images and the music , yes there’s music , I’m not saying more but it’s going to look fantastic .

Mcbess’s tee is now available in the shop.
