00:03 When I was in college, during the early years
00:24 of the internet, 1999, 2000, 2001,
00:28 I was exposed to a lot of the graffiti culture
00:31 in the States and in Europe.
00:33 Besides that, I really wanted to show artists
00:48 that there are several paths for you
00:50 to take to make a career out of art.
00:52 That's why I chose the medium of designer toys,
00:55 because it was something that's highly unusual.

01:01 I guess I was the one who was stuck to people's heads
01:09 the most.
01:10 That's why we were also able to attract other brands
01:13 to work with us, since they saw the marketability
01:17 or the value of my brand.

01:26 As an artist, and I guess as a brand,
01:29 I really get excited working with people
01:32 that have something new to bring into the table
01:34 or something creative challenge that is presented to me.
