Although those very designs that irritate me


are also the ones i like most..
DAMNIT IM SUCH A HYPOCRITE!!
What things inspire you most of all?
Natural subject matter helps inspire me most
when im working on art. I seem to be really
fascinated by the mundane natural occurances that get played out within our daily lives.
Such as when youre talking to someone (more
than likely an attractive member of the opposite sex) and then they tell a joke that you laugh
at, but you dont give one of those heartlled
HAHAHAHAAAAAUGH!! laughs because you
dont want to look like a geek, so you just give a
short and blunt exhale of breath through your
nose and then a dry booger thats been hanging
out in the back of your nostril shoots out like a
bullet and bounces o her shirt. those types of
natural instances amuse me.
Well, that and food.
What things in the modern tendencies of design irritate you most of all? And what things
please you?
I usually only get irritated at designs that i can
tell are only being used because its supposedly
trendy at the time. such as the whole dripping
spray paint deal that you see on every hip television station. Sure it looks cool sometimes,
but you can really tell when someone is only
doing it because their boss is telling them to do
it because thats what the kids can relate to...
and the ad is for Diapers with Attitude or something.
Although those very designs that irritate me
are also the ones i like most..DAMNIT IM SUCH
A HYPOCRITE!! but its more along the lines of
GRAPHICS / THE CHUNG

just using really bright and vibrant colors that


please me. I like color.
How do you concern to criticism?
I appreciate getting a good critique every now
and then. I always listen to what people have
to tell me as far as what they like and dont like
about my work and what i should try and stop
doing. I dont always necessarily do what they
suggest, but i consider it. Like this one guy who
told me i should just quit making art and die
because he hated me and my work...i tried it
for about a week. it didnt work out. nice guy
though, too bad i dont remember his name.
Who do you want to collaborate with?
Oh man, there are so many artists that i want
to collaborate with! Whether or not theyd ever
want to collaborate with me is another story!
Chris Mostyn and i have been talking about doing a project together for years now, just nothing has come out of it yet because of our schedules. plus hes out living in Missouri with his
wife fathering my baby. he doesnt know its my
baby yet though. But boy can his wife pound
a bunch of Jager-bombs.
What do you think about art, design in the
future?
Itll be futuristic.

MOLOKO+ MAGAZINE

Who are your favorite designers, illustrators?


Way too many to speak of. Ive always been a
big fan of Edward Hopper and N.C. Wyeth...
oldies but goodies. Then of course theres H.R.
Giger, the man that everybody falls in love with
as a teenager. But in todays contemporary list
of artists id have to go with Brendan Monroe,
Je Soto, Tim Biskup, PARSKID, everybody in
the ArtDorks Collective and about 250 more
artists that im not going to list because id bore
the crap out of you and im really hungry right
now.
Who inuenced you to choose the art?
Who specically? Probably my brother. Hes
been a major inuence in my life. directly and
indirectly. Mainly it was his forbidden collection
of comic books that i would always sneak into
GRAPHICS / THE CHUNG

and read when he wasnt home. Comics can be


so beautifully drawn, and i never really realized
you could draw for a career up until then.
Have you ever been to Russia?
Would you like to?
You know what, i think i have been to Russia.
When i was 3. For a family vacation. My mom
bought me a keychain with a scorpion in it.
it was awesome. Id denitely like to go back
to Russia, i think this time id remember more
than a keychain. Im all about traveling, i just
need the money to do it, or atleast somebody
to pay for my trips. Does this magazine have
funding to ship artists out? Because i could
come visit if youd like. :)
What about music? What kinds of music do
help you in your art work?

I actually always try to avoid this question when


im asked it. mainly because im not that big of
a music listener as everybody else and their
mother might be. its never really been a huge
part in my life unfortunately. But im pretty
open to listening and liking many types of music. anything between alternative rock thats
played on every work-friendly radio station to
everything on the Rhyme Snoop Doggs XM
radio station. Foshizzle.
What way do you like to relax in?
Well ever since i started stealing cable 2 years
ago, all i do is watch tv. i love tv. its so good.
then when i moved to my new apartment, i
decided to PAY for cable and get On-Demand
where i can watch all these great channels AND
MOVIES...i dont get much done nowadays.

Especially when theres a Dirty Jobs marathon


on.
Tell us about your proximate plans for the
future.
Well im moving to LA in June 2007 and getting
myself a kick ass job thatll pay for my eating
habits. well, im already in a buttload of shows
right now, so i hope to be able to keep that up.
what else am i planning...i dont know, probably
get married, buy a dog, eat some food, start a
clothing company, maybe create my own cartoon show, have some kids, do some art, remember to feed my kids, kill a cyclopes, drink
some beer...watch tv?

Memories mostly seem more romantic


than the experience itsself.
What things inspire you most of all?
Im always intensely inspired by something for
a period of time. At the moment Im very much
caught by things from my childhood. As a little girl I would faint when I got a new My Little
Pony. Still I get that funny feeling when I see,
hear, smell things from my past.
Memories mostly seem more romantic than the
experience itsself. That feeling of associative

memory is exciting to me, I want to explore


that...
How do you concern to criticism?
I found out lately that sometimes I like it when
poeple hate my work. It depends on the person
of course, but a deep hate against my work by
certain people makes gives me the feeling that I
succeed in not making any concessions...

Where did you study art? What have you


learnt there?
I studied at Royal Artschool in The Hague, a
town in Holland. I started learning afterwards...
Are there all your photos in your works?
A lot of my photos end up in mixed-mediaprojects. I love photography but nd it sometimes boring to just make photos. I love the
structure and new stories I can tell with other
materials.
What about music? What kinds of music do
help you in your art work?
Im a Dolly Parton fan. Her lyrics are often used
in my work. I need loud music all day, not only
for work. It can be anything as long as its being
played loud.

What way do you like to relax in?


Playing patience behind the computer...
Tell us about your proximate plans for the
future.
To combine work and baking applepies at the
same time. I want to be relaxed in everything
I do and make nice things. I think it really approves my work when I do it having fun. Thats
ecent. In this way the people I work with, and
I, put more eort in a project. It also makes me
capable of making more stu because I need
less spare time.

Have you ever been to Russia? Would you


like to organize an exhibition in Moscow?
I have never been to Russia. I dreamt of being in
Russia once, if that counts. It would be my great
honour to be in an exhibition in your homecountry.

Mark Todd
WWW.MARKTODDILLUSTRATION.COM

Mark Todd graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California in 1993. He then moved to New York City, working with clients such as Mtv, CocaCola, Sony Music, The New Yorker and The MTA. In 2003, he moved back to southern
California with his wife and fellow artist, Esther Pearl Watson and their 5 year old daughter Lili, an avid artist herself. Mark also co-teaches with Esther at Art Center College of
Design. Their latest book for teens, Whatcha mean, Whats A Zine? about creating zines
and mini-comics, published by Houghton Miin, was recently released.

What things inspire you most of all?


Lots of things i guess. its hard to say anything
in particular. Traveling is inspiring. Getting lost
in the streets of venice. Driving across the united states. Getting out of the studio for a while
always makes us want to return to it refreshed
GRAPHICS / MARK TODD

art center college of design and our students


often have to listen to our critiques of the work
they bring in. Those that know how to take advice from others and use what they think is valid always are the better students. Being open
minded is important.
What things do you use in your art work?
Lots of things. If you men what mediums we
work in, etc. Acrylic mostly. House paint, lately,
mark has been doing more work with spray
paint, enamels, xerox, wood stains and anything else around the studio. Esthers work is

mostly acrylic on wood panels. For commercial


work, mark uses the computer a lot. Scanning
in ink drawings and adding color with scanned
papers and using photoshop.
What do you think about art, design in the
future?
I think it will continue to become more and
more interesting. Whats nice about the future
is not knowing whats coming next. Although if
you pay close attention, its not that dicult to
see the trends coming. There is so much digital
work out there lately, not a surprise.

and ready to work. Friends inspire us as well. So


many people we know are so creative.
How do you concern to criticism?
Criticism is ne. everyone has an opinion. As
long as its not mean spirited. We also teach at
MOLOKO+ MAGAZINE

And a push for strong drawing again, less painting. Seems like its a all about the line these days.
A lot of artists have evolved more into graphic
designer/illustrators. The great thing about
teaching is that its easier to spot the trends of
the future. We see a lot of students inuenced
by artists like James Jean and Tomer Hanuka.
Who are your favorite designers, illustrators?
GRAPHICS / MARK TODD

Its always changing. these days we like Megan


Whitmarsh, Geo Mcfetridge, Paperrad, Martha
Rich, Chris Johanson.
Have you ever been to Russia?
No, is that an invite?
What about music? What kinds of music do
help you in your art work?
We used to be more up the music scene. Well,

maybe not. Marks younger brother lets us know


whats new and cool out there. Hes a photographer living in NY. And our friend/studio mate,
souther salazar. We like little wings, radar brothers, kings of leon, barry white, belle and sebastian, biz markie, joy division, old michael jackson, m.i.a., the knife, lambchop, neil diamond,
stevie wonder, modest mouse, snoop, sufjan
stevens, velvet underground. (if esther was
here she would most likely add more rap, coun-

try and world music). We get sick of stu for a


while, then get back into it, discover something
new... Esther likes lady soverign, and this new
guy but i cant remember his name, he is good
though.
What way do you like to relax in?
Red wine. Esther likes white as well. Just red for
me. And coee, we love coee. Friends over for
dinner and talk. We do that a lot. We just did
MOLOKO+ MAGAZINE

that last night. We had a big easter dinner with


fellow artists, Seonna Hong, joe Rocco, Martha
Rich, others and the kids.
Tell us some words about you and your wifes
book Whatcha mean, Whats A Zine? and
about your proximate plans for the future.
We had a great time with the book. It was the
hardest thing we had ever done art-wise. It
took a long time to gather the facts, hire the
artists involved, design the book, sell the idea

GRAPHICS / MARK TODD

to the publisher and not crazy in the middle of


it all. We are happy with how it came out. and it
seems to be doing well and well liked. We want
to do more books in the future for teens. Esther has been doing well with the gallery work.
I have a new agent in ny who has been good
for commercial work. We are going to chicago
in may to lecture about the book. A few shows
lined up. Hopefully more work, more books. We
are so spur of the moment that we just go with
the ow and see where it leads us.

Joseph Daniel Fiedler


WWW.SCARYJOEY.COM

Joseph Daniel Fiedler, was born and raised in the Appalachian hill
country of Western Pennsylvania. His work has appeared in numerous publications and exhibitions. He has illustrated three childrens
books, received a Silver Medal from the New York Society of Illustrators. Joseph has lived in Tokyo, New Mexico, Michigan and now
resides in Berkeley, CA.
What things inspire you most of all?
Lets just say innovators, artists and scientists,
OK? Pablo Picasso, Bob Dylan, John Lennon,
Andy Warhol, Sam Philips, Cosimo Matassa, J.
Robert Oppenheimer, Howlin Wolf, Ike Turner,
Pingting, E.O. Wilson, Tom Waits, Frida Kahlo,
Jackson Pollock, Raymond Pettibon, Neo Rauch,
David Hockney. Also, making pictures, illustration, the artworld, old soul music, history, beer,
pickles, birds, lettuce, regional pies, my cats, authenticity, quintessence and paradigm shifts.
Who inuenced you to choose the art?
Nobody. I was born with that capacity. Fortunately, its development was not discouraged. I
attended a Catholic grade school so the images
of the Christian story were my introduction to
the world of art.
What things in the modern tendencies of design irritate you most of all? And what things
please you?
Im not sure if I can say what irritates me
most. Assholes, I guess, but thats kind of
broad. Perhaps the promotion of blatant imitators by the leading professional journals bothers me most of all. I like making pictures. I like
being published and to have peer recognition
for my work.
How do you concern to criticism?
GRAPHICS / JOSEPH DANIEL FIEDLER

It depends whom it comes from I suppose. I


guess that it requires a certain amount of qualication to be pertinent. As a public artist, a lot
of criticism comes from those without substantial qualications.
What do you think about art, design in the
future?
I have no clear idea about the future at this
time.
Who are your favorite designers, illustrators?
I havent really kept up with whos who in design
but Id say Bruce Mau would be at the top. Hes
doing something. Charles and Rae Eames. Wolfgang Wiengart, April Grieman. Illustrators: David Pohl, Jordan Isip, Brian Rea, Christopher Silas
Neal, Jeery Decoster, Erik Sandberg, Jason
Holley, James Gordon Irving.
Have you ever been to Russia?
No.
What about music? What kinds of music do
help you in your art work?
From Saigon to Hanoi [traditional songs from
Vietnam], Jimmy Dawkins [Fast Fingers], Dark
Holler [Dillard Chandler], U2 [I recently bought
most of the catalogue] and Havana Cuba.
ca. 1957, Rhythms and Songs for the Orishas
[Smithsonian Folkways], Dusty Springeld
MOLOKO+ MAGAZINE

[Dusty in Memphis]. Recently Im on a Duende/


Sentimental jag; lots of really emotional Mexican or Bolero stu like Chavella Vargas, Lila
Downs, and Martirio. I love Teresa Salgueiro
from Madre Deus! Keep it Rootsy! Marc Ribot!
Tom Waits! Also saw U2s Vertigo Tour and
Sineads Sly & Robbie Throw Down Your Arms
Tour. Awesome!

GRAPHICS / JOSEPH DANIEL FIEDLER

What way do you like to relax in?


I like convivial restaurants, travel [especially for
business], reading and the natural world.
Tell us about your proximate plans for the

more involved in gallery exhibitions too.

What things do you use in your art work?


I love love love working by hand...the messyness, the unpredictability, the accidents, the
smells, the textures, all the lovely wonderful
goos&pastes,,,i usually use the computer as
a kind of virtual gluestick- a place to combine
hand-done elements and weave them together, but never as a place to originate pictures-- sometimes I dont use the computer at all,,,
it usually depends on whether the nal piece
needs to be delivered in a digital format--- I
use the scanner tons,, I;ve scanned some giant things on my little trusty scanner then i tile
them together and its a pain in the ass.
A lot of times i take pictures and polaroids,
all to be used, manipulated, creased, crumpled, roughed up---sometimes I nd things on
the street or hanging out of the trash- things
deemed useless, but that can be reinvented
into something else, in another way, in a dier-

weather, signs, trash, music&lyics, the dictionary, the onslaught of visual and auditory photons on a daily basis, thinking thinking thinking
about all of the strangeness of Life, love, hate,
the struggle, the city and its decaying character, PEOPLE, noise.
What things in the modern tendencies of design irritate you most of all? And what things
please you?
Things that irritate me: vacant styles, people
who nitpick and think they are elitist, relying on
the computer too much instead of your brain,
the overload of visual clutter which blinds our
eyeballs, the speed of technology, upgrading,

does amazing stu with TYPOGRAPHY, because
I am deeply in love with letters.

Things that please me: the blank page is still the
wonderful and invigorating blank page, that
will never change- the pure bliss of getting an
idea out and seen / using the Brain, our most
powerful gooey tool, the uncertainty and the
diversity and the CHALLENGE, the wonders of
technology, seeing whats possible from amazing people that push the limits of what seems
possible
How do you react to criticism?
Criticism.... well, its always great to get a reaction from people...good, bad, whatever- discussion and conversation usually leads to progress,

Long walks with my yummy boyfriend and awesome dog, zebedee.... eating ice-cream and

Two photographers from dierent parts of


the world fall in love. They quit their past lives
to be together and start something new. My
Little Dead Dick is a studio created by
photographers Madi Ju and Patrick Tsai
Patrick Tsai
Born in LeHighton, Pennsylvania, US, 1981.
B.F.A in Film/TV Production, Ticsh School of the
Arts, New York University, 2003.
Lived and worked in Taipei, Taiwan 2003-2006.
Lives and works in Canton, China.

Madi Ju
Born in Wuhan, Hubei, China. 1983.
BA in French Language and Literature, Guangdong University of Foreign Language, 2005.
Chief Editor of online magazine <after 17>
since 2001.

MOLOKO+ MAGAZINE

What things inspire you most of all?


Madi and I are very dierent so I cant speak for
her on this matter, but I usually love literature,
music, etc. which tell us that all the suering
and poverty you are going though is worth it if
you are being honest to yourself and your art.
How do you concern to criticism?
We are open to criticism. Actually I would love
our work to be closely analyzed, but most people are too polite on Flickr and on the net to say
anything harsh. We mostly get nice comments
or sick ones from perverts.
Who are your favourite photographers?
Right now famous photographers dont excite
me anymore like they used to. We are more
interested in young, unknown photographers
like Mike Brodie(USA), Michelle Arcila(USA),
Peekabu(China), and K1973(China) whose work
we feel is more honest, substantial, and fresh.
(Google them!)

PHOTOGRAPHY / PATRICK TSAI & MADI JU

Who inuenced you to choose the


photography?
Madi was introduced to photography through
her friends who run the online magazine
Coldtea, which is very popular in China. She has
learned her style very quickly and now, in my
opinion, have surpassed her famous photographer friends.
As for me, my older sister got me interested in
photography because she took a course in high
school when I was very young. I had always
looked up to her, so I wanted to be just like her.
She has stopped taking photos a long time ago,
but, for me, I have taken it to my heart and cant
let go.

Have you ever been to Russia?


Would you like to?
Of course! Its an alien world to us and a new
adventure!
What about music? What are your
favourite groups?
Bob Dylan is the biggest inuence on me for
the past couple of years. I also like anything
that makes me feel happy, feel like crying, feel
like ghting, or feel like dancing.
Madi likes girly Asian music which I cant stand.
Haha.

Tell us some words about your studio My


Little Dead Dick. How it has been created?
And what is it used for?
Its a long story which I have told many times.
Its much easier to check it out from here:

And tell us about your proximate plans
for the future.
Our future is always very unclear and unstable
which makes our romantic story so interesting.
Just keep paying attention and you will nd
out.

What way do you like to relax in?


I like to play with stray dogs. Madi likes to read
books by Haruki Murakami, which makes her

WWW.STEPHENLEDGERLOMAS.COM

Stephen Ledger-Lomas graduated from the


Bournemouth Arts Institutes new Foundation Degree in Professional Photography in
July 2003 and immediately joined
Photodebut; exhibiting as part of their debut
show in Charlotte Road. He has since been
published in the Observer Magazine,
Creative Review and Diva and exhibited at
the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, the Home
Gallery in Bethnal Green and the LCC in
Elephant and Castle. His work is based
around interpretations of portraiture and has
focused recently on an investigation of
identity and emotion. He has combined his
own photographic practise with production
for the Independent Photographers Group
and Rankin Photography. Born in Liverpool
he now lives in East London and continues
to shoot both personal work and editorial
commissions.

PHOTOGRAPHY / STEPHEN LEDGER-LOMAS

MOLOKO+ MAGAZINE

Who inuenced you to choose the photography?


My grandfather was by biggest inspiration. He
was a keen photographer and taught me all the
basics. After that I really just began looking for
photographers who I could learn from. I found
the images of Tierney Gearon and Rineke Dijkstra when I was studying at Bournemouth
and was really drawn to their aesthetic and approach. It really began as a substitute for drawing and developed into something else.

PHOTOGRAPHY / STEPHEN LEDGER-LOMAS

For you what is on the top: beauty of the


photo or meaning of the photo?
It is of course a combination but I believe the
intellectualization of
certain genres of photography has been detrimental. There is meaning in simple beauty.
It is wrong to add signicance to elements of
an image after is has been taken when they
were of no concern at the time. Jeanloup Sie
once said: There are two types of photographs:
good ones and bad ones, I think there is a lot to
be said for not overcomplicating a beautifully
simple procedure.

What things inspire you most of all?


Im usually inspired by a time of day, a certain
light. Im also drawn to people with interesting
faces, something that warrants further investigation.

ment. The worst reaction is that of indierence,


that is the most paralyzing.

How do you concern to criticism?


I am very open to criticism. I think its important
not to be too
precious about your work and to let it go. If
people dislike something you produce you
have to remember why you like it and this can
be very useful for your own personal developMOLOKO+ MAGAZINE

In your opinion what is the main tendency in


photography nowadays?
Photography has traveled through its polished
and beautiful phase and become bored of the
grungy snapshot and is now more open than
ever. I wouldnt say there is any one tendency in
the commercial marketplace but the industry is
crying out for originality.
Water, water everywhere but not a drop to
drink.
What cameras do you use?
I shoot on a Hasselblad 6x6 lm camera. I had

PHOTOGRAPHY / STEPHEN LEDGER-LOMAS

a digital camera but it broke and I dont really


miss it.
Would you like to visit Russia one day?
I would love to visit Russia. My friend has just
moved to Moscow and tells me some interesting stories!
What way do you like to relax in?
I like to be with likeminded people, ideally in a
park on a sunny day. I see a lot of exhibitions
when I am in the mood and read when
something really captivates me.

What about music? What are your favourite


groups?
I am in love with the Arcade Fire, the Kings of
Leon and Willy
Mason. That will do for now.
Tell us about your proximate plans for the
future. And can you give an advice to beginners-photographers.
I want to continue to shoot short stories and
build an overall story with my work. I think
its important not to force it when its not
happening. I will always love taking portraits of

people I have never met before, I can always see


something dierent in a face when it is through
a lens.
My advice for beginner photographers is do it
for the right reasons.Do it because you love to
take photographs.
