WHOA! Wednesday
ft. MANDARK THE ART SCIENTIST
So, this week as you’ve probably noticed we skipped on Turntable Tuesday…. Don’t worry, It will be back next week…. In the meantime, we haven’t don’t one of these in awhile, and this artist, is so amazing, I wanted to share with you. I had the same interview with MANDARK, that I have with every artist we feature here on Swizzy Land, and here’s what he had to say! Hope you enjoy his fun and creative visual creations!
How did you get started? That’s long story, but in a nutshell I’ve been doing art since I was 5 and didn’t take it seriously until my senior year of high school when I found out that people might actually pay for my imagination on canvas.
Why do you keep going? Art is my life and I LOVE to do it. My mom always told me to do what I love and not what I have to do. So I stuck tot hose words and push on.
Who/What inspires you? Music has always inspired me, I gain all of my inspiration while painting from music. Mainly I listen to MADLIB, J Dilla, The Mars Volta and all of my favorite local homies Chuuwee, Konkweest, (Lady Blue), Mad Flows and Illecism. My firl also keeps me inspired to keep moving. Especially when I’m feeling down about my career, she’s a real “pick me up”
What projects are currently working on? I just finished a big project for a local Veteran clothing shop out here called “Getta Clue”, it was a store display for their front window. If anyone wants to view the process of my creating it, visit the website or YOUTUBE page. Right now I’m just working on putting out bigger pieces of work, I’m tired of working small. I’m also hoping on putting out some new shirts soon.
