We’ve been working with the street-wear slinging, sticker savvy, fashion-centric heavyweight, Greg Mishka for quite a few years. The Mishka style is unmistakable and the Mishka brand is undeniable. To us, having printed millions of stickers over the years, we feel like we’re pretty damn good at being able to identify how effective a sticker will be, by how iconic and distinguishable it is. And in the case of Mishka, there’s no denying the impact of their homegrown, intensely colorful, graphic-heavy brand appeal. Yeah, I said “Appeal”…

This week, we asked the entrepreneurial, toy collecting, style guru and all around master of merch & marketing, Greg Mishka to sit down (presumably) and answer 10 questions.

Oh… and this time, we’re giving away a Fudge Factory Adhesive Kit to a random commenter to this thread… So leave a comment, yo.

This week, we had a virtual sit down with one of our favorite underground illustrators, Travis Millard. Travis is, first and foremost, an undeniably skilled, self taught, highly prolific, untamed and original drawer of all things rad. Countless hours of pen to paper and relentless doodlings have slowly cultivated a raw and free-spirited drawing style that is unmistakably and undeniably his very own. Millard’s constant creative flow and casual, yet hard working approach to simply doing what he has always done, has established himself as a highly accomplished jack of all trades, whose creative endeavors include painting, sculpting, writing, comic-making, designing, publishing, printing, skating, eating, tweeting and purveying high quality knock knock jokes… In no particular order.

Oh and did we mention that Travis is sort of a crazed sticker fanatic ? (Ok, we may have had a slight hand in the voluntary printing tens of thousands of Millard stickers, but sometimes you gotta push a baby bird out of the nest…)

OK, without further adieu (yes, that’s French for “adieu”) here’s 10 questions with Travis Millard.
