Strokeface

Interview, October 2009

How are you?
Good thanks but I’m still looking at this world with a confused look on my face.

Do you like big butts? Please don’t lie.
No thank you, they intimidate me.

If your art was writing a lonely hearts ad, what would it say?
I want you to need me.

Do you know what my favourite ever lonely hearts advert was?
Was it?... “I could fill that hole in your life” or “I’ll only hurt you when you’re wrong”.

It was in the Streatham Post and said ‘Hairy man seeks woman’. That was my favourite one

What things are you up to at the moment?
I have been up to things, I did the artwork for a Shane Meadows film called ‘Le Donk’ and I have a screen print coming out at Pictures On Walls. Also the ICA have made a publication of the Heavy Pencil event and I have a drawing and some of my music included. There are other things on their way too.

Got any new work that people can get their hands on?
Yes I have a screen print produced by Concrete Hermit available at Tate Modern Shop. Everyone is welcome to look at my website to find out all the latest news. It’s a ‘real’ place where everything is clickally linkable to various online digital purchasing areas.

If you had to, would you be Toni with an i or Tony with a y?
Definately with a y because the other way would feel wrong.

What’s nice?
A clown standing silently in a poorly lit alleyway.

Thank you for doing this. What are you going to do now?
Go back into my hole. Thank you and goodbye.
