            They  utilize  techniques  for  upcycling  vintage  clothing,  furniture  too,
            imbuing artwork and prints from classic and contemporary sources. “This
            is going to be an ongoing collab. We vibe together really well. I’m a big
            fan of their work, they’re big fans of my work. The quality of work is just
            amazing.” Sticking within fashion, I had to ask him about his sock game,
            to which he shared, “They have to match for me. Matching socks.

             I don’t care if your socks aren’t matching, but it drives me up the wall if
            my socks aren’t matching. I only wear black socks. If I have a hole in my
            sock,  it  will  ruin  my  day.  Designer  socks  suck.  I’ve  got  some  Versace
            socks that ripped super quick.” I happen to enjoy food quite a bit. I asked
            about his favorites. “I love bagels with cream cheese, like onion or chive.
            I’m not too big into sweets, dog. Salty over sweet, for me, all day. I love
            biscuits ‘n gravy, I love breakfast.”




                                                      As far as stepping away from art, it doesn’t happen often, but when it
                                                      does, he touched on three activities. “I like to build little mini-Lego sets, I
                                                      like to cook food, and I love comedy. ”I can almost hear Chris Farley,
                                                      "Tommy Likey, Tommy want biscuits and gravy." As we finished, I asked
                                                      for a piece of motivation others could apply to their own endeavors. His
                                                      advice: “Don’t let the down times hold you down and practice every day.”
