Matt, you've been very busy. In the last year or so, you've moved from Portland, Maine to work for Burton Snowboards in Vermont, and now I hear you opened your own design firm in Boston. Can you give us a brief re-cap of what led you away from Portland and made it possible for you to start a design business in Boston?

Well, I finished school in Portland in 2005 and worked at…

For artists reading this who might be thinking of approaching your publication with their art, what are you looking for and how do you find and choose your artists?

It's a combination of looking at work which readers have sent in and actively looking for new talent. We do this through trawling through sites such as Illustration…

Why 44flavours and not 66, 69 or 77?

The name comes from a Brooklyn ice cream van you see all over the hood during the summer, which Sebastian Bagge, who is my partner in crime, saw in a film. And no joke—it really was called 44flavours. The name is perfect because when we decided to start a magazine, that was exactly what…

Your website is very thorough in explaining the 1000J Project, but could you give a very brief synopsis about it?

The 1000 Journals Project is a worldwide collaborative art experiment. One thousand journals were sent out into the world and those who find them add something—writing, artwork, photographs, whatever they…

Eyeformation's latest project is CITY BIRDS—a flock of colorful birds inhabiting an installation/mural created by the artist and other participants.

The project began in the summer of 2007, when the first CITY BIRD illustrations found their way on skateboard decks designed by the artist. Soon after, the birds were being constructed from recycled and found wood as two standard shapes—one with the wings…

Editor's Note: On the heels of its world premier at the Tribeca Film Festival, Tracy Wares (producer and director of photography of the film Bomb It) agreed to answer some questions about graffiti, the documentary, and her travels while filming. A shoutout to N.O.M.A.D. who helped with this email / instant…

Wallspankers was created in April of 2006. It had been an idea of mine for years, but I wasn’t sure how to turn it into a reality. I saw the project as a printed zine on sticker paper and being able to distribute it around the world. My community of friends within the art, design and graffiti circle, is constantly growing. I want to spread their work as far as I…

UPDATE 2009: PAPER BOAT SINKS... As of May 31, 2009, Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery will be closing its doors after 4 great years of being open. The article below was originally published in 2006.

While working together in my studio, Kim Kisiolek and I realized that there was a lack of accessible space for…

Have you ever been sitting in your apartment-studio and said to yourself, “You know, I really wish I had a readily available means of creating hand-printed paper goods, t-shirts and packaging for my small, yet promising craft business, but I don’t have the space or know-how for setting up a screen-print studio, and rubber stamps are for scrap-booking housewives?” Wouldn’t it be…

Editor's Note: Dave’s interview was conducted in the spring of 2005 for a wonderful little zine called Cough, maintained by Tina Long out of Half Moon Bay, CA. The interview was reprinted in Art Bureau #9 with several pages of his artwork.
