Artist Interview: a.mar.illo

Resident Tee Nerd Statement

By: JadenKale

A.mar.illo: A force to be reckoned with in nature, as well as in the tee world. He wants you to believe that prairie dogs should have been protectors of the buffalo. Those piercing eyes, their pack-like mentality... their very presence should strike fear into the hearts of men all across the plains. At least, they should have, had they been 40 feet tall and able to stop down the men who decimated those grazing beasts that are now protected through legal means. I can just picture the side show in New York: Prairie Dog Paul instead of Buffalo Bill... I guess it doesn’t have the same ring to it. Yet here’s A.mar.illo, waiting to rewrite history, if but for a moment, upon a tee.

Long time, no see, A.mar.illo! Tell us, what have you been up to?

I was busy doing some rather huge illustration jobs, so the entire 2011 I didn´t work much on tee designs, but from next month on I´ll be back in the game to do a lot of them hopefully.

What do you feel makes prairie dogs look so majestic and proud?

I love how they always watch out for any kind of danger that might come up on the prairie. If they were a little bigger, let's say, like really really enormously huge, they could have taken care of their tiny little buffalo friends, when the evil white men came to kill them all...

What makes you want to draw/create more than anything else?

Sometimes I need a period without any form of creativity, so the "hunger" for it can be really intense.

You're the man of the hour (or rather 24 hrs). What shall we serve you?

I like italian food, belgian sweets, ethiopian coffee, german beer and spanish wine, in this order please:)

I’ve secretly found your sketchbook. What will I find inside?

I´m afraid I used it for shopping lists and phone numbers again.

Do you have any links you'd like to have the Tee Nerds check out?

A real Tee Nerd has an iPad so he will need this: http://www.grovemade.com/collections/ipad-2-covers/products/birdland-ipad-2-cover which is made in Portland, like Tilteed Tees.

We've enjoyed having you back here. What last thing would you like to tell people?

Never buy anything that isn't made in Portland, seriously!

always loved this one.

Loving this! Wish I had the money. I actually own a prairie dog, and he’s quite mean. But I can’t blame him, his female friend passed away.

I like a.mar.illo’s sentiment: “never buy anything that isn’t made in Portland, seriously!”

Go Tilteed!

Really like the mood of this one.  And I seem to be a sucker for textures on cream.
