10 Questions with Illustrator, Iconographer and Sticker Artist David Lanham

On a regular basis we’ll ask a new sticker artist a series of 10 questions. To keep things simple and to engage in a deeply philosophical, long term case study of the scientifically complicated “Sticker Artist’s mind,” we’ve decided to leave the questions the same every week.

We first became aware of David Lanham‘s work through a series of excellent Icons that adorned our computer desktops, long before we ever knew who made them.

Years later, when David placed his first sticker order for clear vinyl stickers, we put two and two together and placed the name to the artist and fell in love with his fun, colorful and highly imaginative stickers. Naturally it was only a matter of time before we sat down and asked David Lanham to Answer 10 Questions..

10 Questions with Greg Mishka

On a regular basis we’ll ask a new sticker artist a series of 10 questions. To keep things simple and to engage in a deeply philosophical, long term case study of the scientifically complicated “Sticker Artist’s mind,” we’ve decided to leave the questions the same every week.

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 make sure to leave a comment below. Greg is sending a Mishka Sticker Pack to a random commenter.
