LP - Èíòåðâüþ è ñòàòüè - JOE on SLAMXHYPE - "BAILOUT"» https://linkin-park.biz/page.php?id=1775 |
December 15, 2008 Slamxhype SLAMXHYPE – Please introduce yourself and what is your background? JOE HAHN – My name is Joe Hahn. I’m a professional musician. However, my background is in art. I attended Art Center College Of Design studying illustration. Shortly after dropping out I began a career as a character designer in the film/ special fx industry. That is where I received film training and eventually became a director. Recently, I got bored and started a small clothing label called SURU and opened our flagship store in Hollywood on Melrose Ave. SXH – Can you tell us a bit about your artwork for the show? JH – This painting was originally inspired by the Yeti creature illustrated by my good friend, Jeff McMillan. It is sort of a remix of something he has done. SXH – How did you interpret and execute the title “Bailout”? JH – This painting has nothing to do with bailout. I think that I forgot to pay attention to the theme. Sorry. SXH – What is your take on commercial art? JH – At one point I struggled being a commercial artist. It was difficult to make money doing so. So I decided to do something easier and make music. It’s been working out so far. SXH – How do you plan to celebrate the holidays? JH – For the holidays, I will try to consume in order to stimulate the economy while being environmentally unfriendly |
