Where are you from?
I was born in Hawaii, and moved to LA in 1997. I currently live in Hollywood.

I want to get you involved in something I'm working on. Are you available?
It really depends on the scope of the project and the timeline. I'm always interested in attractive commercial projects and unique opportunities to show my art.

What inspires you?
I'm inspired by heavy metal, kawai (Japanese cute culture), kaiju (Japanese monsters), the naked female body, Hollywood and ice cream. To me, they are all the same: timeless, bold, unforgiving and awesome. I can't get enough.

How do you feel about graffiti?
At the end of the day, it doesn't hold the same sweet spot in heart that it used to. And I'm certainly not a graffiti artist, so please don't call me one. I've moved on. And as far as posters are concerned, I still like 'em. I go out when I'm inspired to do so.

How do you make your posters? What kind of glue do you use?
Since 2002, I have silkscreened all my posters by hand. I really like silkscreening, and I can't imagine what I'd do without it.

What is the turnaround time for orders?
We usually ship orders on Friday afternoon.

I have a store, how do I carry your stuff?
It depends on what you're interested in. Send us an email and we'll help you out.

Who designed your site?
I designed it and Justin at Rocket Society (.com) built it. He did a killer job.

What's your real name?
Buff Monster.
