Part of

The Perch

The Bowery

Name:

James Fosdike.

Place of Birth:

Nazzacoorte.

Currently Living in:

Adelaide, SA.

Train, bus, bike, or other:

I walk mostly. If it's longer than walking distance, I ride a giant kitten.

What's the most important object in your studio?

My beard.

Paper or Plastic?

My boobs? They're all real.

If you could resurrect one no longer living person to have lunch with, knowing you will have to return them to the grave right after coffee, who would it be?

Darth Vader, just to see how he drank coffee. He's a real person, isn't he?

Preferred method of dealing with an encounter with an acquaintance whose name you can't remember.

A jaunty dance, followed by a strip-tease.

Why don't you flip the tortoise over, Leon?

Because trying to ride it when it's on its back gives onlookers the wrong impression.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

He should stop eating wood if he's only going to chuck it up all the time. Stupid Woodchuck.

Favourite client so far?

Pretty much all of them. I love clients.

Favourite imaginary client?

Winston Hemsforth Collypibbles the Third. He's a multi-tentacled, monocle wearing being from another dimension that eats rainbows and poops diamonds. He loves commissioning me for portraits, which he pays for with his own poo.

How does your mother describe your profession?

"It's like his brain dances with his fingers".

Coffee or tea?

What's 'tea'?

What's your earliest drawing memory?

Painting nothing but pumpkins for a month when I was in Kindy. I NAILED those pumpkins. I've never drawn one since.

How do you prefer to spend your mornings?

Asleep.
