Concept statement
I thought it was a nice little twist to use the usually stationary toilet man instead of the little green man to represent 'walk.' I gave the little man his own little story that to me suggests going places... breaking from that that confines you and exploring the world - and that is what the concept of 'walk' conveys to me. Don't just sit around, get out there!
Where in the world would you go to and why?
Spain: I'd love to learn the language, but also, more importantly, the people and the culture excite and intrigue me and it would simply rock to be part of it.
Favourite stuff?
Great fondness for: soccer, friends, girlfriend, fruit + cereal + nuts, macs, the strokes, and you - yes, you.
Three people you'd take to a desert island?
Considering the inevitable and imminent death of those left on a desert island I don't think I'd take people I love. So... McGyver, Jack Sparrow and Mitch Hedburg (to keep me entertained while the first two figure out a way off the island)... or just jesus... he could piggy back me home.
What will you be doing in 10 years?
Rolling in the millions I've won in the lottery... otherwise, I'd love to have some funky career in graphic design.
Why should you win this competition?
The chance to break from the HSC that confines me in grand style and step out into and experience the bigger world.... could not be appreciated more - I'd absolutely love it. I should win if my shirt makes you smile.
