Jose Guerra

What is your least favorite color and what do you think it says about you?
I tend to go through stages, so right now my least favorite color would have to be yellow. It's the same color as piss and you can't really use it on white. I guess the fact that I hate yellow says I don't like colors that remind me of bodily fluids.

What is the first work of art or design (painting, album cover, cereal box, etc.) that you remember having a significant impact on you?
My dad had this AM Cassandre Pathe poster in our living that I really dug and now have at my place. I think that really got me into posters. Oh and definitely anything lucha libre. Those masks are sooo damn bad ass. Everything about lucha libre is cool.

Which designers, artists, or creative people do you look up to or are inspired by?
Those guys at Aesthetic Apparatus are my heroes. They started in their basement hand pulling screen prints now and make fucking bad ass rock posters. They're very inspiring and they may me wanna get off my lazy ass.

If you could single-handedly be responsible for creating a new genre of music, what would it be called and what would it sound like?
This new genre of mine would sound like robots having sex. Ya know the sound, banging metal, scratching nuts...and bolts, and very well lubricated ball bearings. It would sound kind of painful yet orgasmic to listen to. The music would have to come with a wipe cloth.

Name one typeface you would rescue from the Shitty Typeface Hall of Fame.
Maybe Comic Sans. But only to throw it back into the Shitty Typeface Hall of Fame so I can say I saved design.

What album do you own that you'd rather use as a beer coaster?
I once went into a used record shop in MD with the intent on getting a record completely based on the cover and ended up with this band Starflyer 59. It was pretty hard for me to get into. Sort of proves the whole judging a book by its cover thing.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head for a disgustingly long time?
Ughhh....."At Eastern Motors, You're jobs your Credit..." Now it's stuck again. This question sucks.

What would you do if you could control the whole world for a day?
Wow, this is hard. I think I would want everyone to dance the Macarena in the streets in their undies while I rolled through the city and looted the Guitar Center, American Apparel and Chipotle. In that order.

What is God wearing right now?
My divine mustache, tatted sleeves, Doc Martens and a shirt that says "More Cowbell."

If you could see anyone of importance, dead or alive, wearing your t-shirt, who would it be?
If by important you mean bad ass, I'd have to say Johnny Knoxville. That guy is so awesome it makes me hot.
