Q: How do you perceive, or not, the influences of Cinema, popular culture, advertisement and graffiti in his work?


I see a lot of influence personally from modern cartoons, which have for some reason decided that kids think ugly characters are more interesting than pretty ones.  The images have exaggerated facial expressions, and bright colors.  I see the influence of advertising and graffiti though the repetition of ideas, and characters.  It's like making a label for himself, so that everyone knows that it's him.
