How do you get the inspiration?

It’s a difficult question!… Stories, life… I love when I receive from other people strange answer or strange behaviour… The diversity of reaction, it’s something fascinating…

Could you tell us about music you make?

I write a lot of stupid songs, very often for some people I know, from my little village in the mountain. And so after I make music for the song, and then video for the music!… I work with a lot of real instrument mixed in Protools, and I work with Reason… Music for me it’s something for every body, not only for “real musician”, it’s a popular communication, with a lot of feeling, every body should make music, it doesn’t matter if it’s good music or not, it’s something witch belong to the humanity!

Are you spending your time at Ian Anderson on Akademie Schloss?

I hope yes! Hope I can meet him! He was the jury, and chose me! I love his work! But I began next September! So I can not say to much! Just that I am very very glad to be there, meeting other designers and working of my own project! Akademie Schloss Solitude it’s a wonderful place, residency programs, international and interdisciplinary, for many kind of artist (visual art, music, design, film…). I will be there one year, I began in September… It’s a castle in the middle of the forest!… I imagine this area like “shining” but with kind ghost!

Please tell us about the concept of the cover design for this Shift edition.

Well… make a little B&W science fiction, like Philip K Dick, with something else that pixel (even if I love pixel!). I like to show the different step of a movement… And the frog can jump if you touch it too much…

What would you like to challenge in the future?

To make a web site that people are not lost in!!!!!! And to be able to work more for… ME!!! Because every time, I don’t give the priority to my project, and it’s sad: why I can be so strong worker for a client, an not for myself!! And I would love, one, to make a video clip for a big commercial star, like Beyonce, for example, why not! hehe, I know, just a stupid dream! But I am so often bored by video clip… especially in hip hop or R’n B! It’s maybe possible to make something better, no???

My next project it’s to make an animation film, with video, drawing mixed… it will be a musical (!) with a lot a stupid song, like usual… I love draw on the video…

Please leave a message to readers.

I was already twice in Japan. I even live there, in Tokyo, for 7 months… It was so great, I was so inspired by every thing… I hope one day I can do a book about this time in Japan: I made so strange drawing, there, and so strange photos! It was in 1998, and all the town look to belong to the “Kogal” (I know that now you don’t use anymore that name… it was 7 years ago!… And every where in the street, “Kogal” were saying about me : “kawaiiiiii!”… Actually not because I am beautiful (hehe) but because they think I look like Princess Diana! Anyway, I love this strange mix old and new in Japan, also in Design, and I love Japanese god and ghost stories!… So, thank you, readers, for your works and your great spirit!
