A brief interview with the guy they call Nosego...
But...before the interview...I'd like to share how I came across the works of
Yis Goodwin.
As an avid
Flickr user, I've come across massive amounts of original art work created by people from all walks of life. In my opinion, some of the work is very good while other pieces are not appealing to me at all. When I came across the works of an artist named "Nosego" I was immediately engaged in his art. The first things I saw were hand drawn stickers that had a crisp and fresh look to them. Second were the various paintings Nose created depicting animals, original characters, great color choices, and fuzzy shit. Its not enough that the kid has tons of talent with the paints, I was further surprised and impressed that Nose creates his own clothing too. I purchased his "Circle Bear" crew neck sweater as soon as I saw it. I knew that I wanted to work with Nose on a T-shirt for Grownkids from the first day I discovered his art and I'm very happy and proud to announce the 1st Grownkids/Nosego collaboration...
