TAKING THE LONG ROAD HOME
Tee Artist: againstbound
Congratulations on your third win at Tilteed, Hector! How does it feel?
Thanks, Bo! Feels great, like eating candy for dinner.
How did you come up with the clever idea for “Taking the Long Road Home”?
I honestly don’t remember, but I bet it had something to do with sorcery, pancakes and LSD.
What are some of the projects that you’re currently working on?
Nothing intersting, really, some freelance work, some collabs that will hopefully see the light of day, someday, and some personal pieces that will probably lead nowhere. And yes, I realize I suck at being interviewed.
If you weren’t an artist, what would you be doing instead?
Damn, this one’s hard, if you mean If I wasn’t just a visual/graphic artist I would like being a musician, a writer or in last instance an architect (I actually wanted to be an architect back when I was in middle school). But if you mean nothing art related, then I have no idea, if I couldn’t work on anything that involved creativity I would probably end up living under a bridge, hell, I might still end up doing that!
What is your favorite video game console of all time? Favorite video game?
Damn, this one’s harder! I think the SNES has probably been the strongest console withing it’s own context, so many good games, and I played the heell out of a lot of them, even though I never owned one. But I’ve grown fond of mi Wii and my PS3, my only consoles ever, cause despite my love for videogames my parents never got me one, so I had to wait til I made my own money.
As for game, no idea, too hard to choose, among my faves in no specific order are God of War 3, Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Diablo 2, Super Smash Bros Melee, the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Tetris Attack, Uncharted 2, and many, many more. I can tell you my fave current gen game, though : Demon’s Souls.
Have you come across any cool websites recently?
Google? Hahaha, sorry, I suck at this, you should ask me about videogames more!
Last words?
Don’t trust anyone over 13!

Hey, I’m late to the party but I just wanted to thank everyone that has supported this design so far. You people are getting a macaronni portrait of David Hasselhoff in the next week or two, so stay near your mailboz.

A wonderfully clever design on a very cool tee color AND an upcoming Hasselhoff macaroni portrait. A very appreciated act of generosity, Hector, to top off the presentation of this undisputed contest winner.

Loving the interview responses, Hector. I’ll definitely hook you up with more video game-related questions in the future ;P

Dude.. I find the Ultimate shirt especially after what happened with all those poor animals shot in Ohio and I can’t get one? Make it again this time as a brown shirt! “I’m not afraid…”
