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?
Elvis. That way I get to meet The King, go to Graceland and drink a coffee. Sounds like a good lunch.
Preferred method of dealing with an encounter with an acquaintance whose name you can’t remember.
Call them ‘man’ or ‘dude’ or ‘buddy’ or ‘pal’.
Why don’t you flip the tortoise over, Leon?
Because no one likes to see the other side of a tortoise. By the way, it’s Rik, not Leon.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Chuck off.
Favourite client so far?
Drawing tattoos for friends.
Favourite imaginary client?
Anything that allows me to travel and work is good.
How does your mother describe your profession?
Idealistic. Temporary.
Coffee or tea?
Coffee. Definitely.
What’s your earliest drawing memory?
Drawing huge spaceship battles (complete with sound effects made by me) on massive rolls of paper my dad brought home from work for me. I’d spread them across the living room floor and cover them in cool aliens and rockets and explosions in minutes. In fact, my perfect client would pay me to do this.
How do you prefer to spend your mornings?
Just drawing really.
