how did you hear about gocco?
A gentleman in Portland named Chris Katholi had one and he was printing some stickers with it.

what do you like about gocco versus other mediums you work in?
‘Real’ screenprinting is way more labor-intensive, and you need lots of space.

do you have any gocco tips/tricks?
Gocco ink stays wet for a really long time. If you burn a screen, ink it, and carry it around, you can use a plastic paper folder or small squeegee and screenprint your image right on to business windows. It looks really official.

what does love mean to you?
It means everything.

what contemporary artists are you inspired by?
Tadanori Yokoo, Gail Swanlund, Megan McGinley, Max Erdenberger, Eli Carrico

tell the audience what movie, book, album, website, tv show, and magazine you love that most people haven't seen/read/heard?

Book: The Ozwald Cooper (1930)
