When did you become an artist?
I was born right-brained, so I've always been a creative thinker, but T.I.A was born in 2018 out in Los Angeles.
Do you really drink every bevy yourself?
Every... Single... One... Hence why each piece takes so long to create.
Do you spend your own money on the 6ers?
Duh, however I'd welcome any sponsorship opportunities!
How many beverages do you consume per day?
"Don't count beers, Carlos. Not cool." - Ronald McDonald, 2013.
How long does it typically take to craft a piece from start to finish?
There are a lot of elements that factor into each piece: the ideation time, the size of the piece, the complexity of it, the amount of booze I'm crushing week by week, etc. In reality, there's no way to calculate a precise amount of time it takes to complete a piece, but it's a lot fuckin longer than you'd expect.
Do you save every bottle or can you drink?
I try to because I need to create my art supplies, but obviously that's just not feasible. What am I going to do, ask the bartender to give me the bottle or can they just poured my beverage out of? Then comes the dilemma of kegs and draft beverages...
What prompted you to create these pieces?
A combination of intense ADHD, a love of beverages, the desire to create something from nothing and a plethora of ideas barraging my brain at all times.
