Melvins Discussion / mackie interview
July 15, 2008, 04:53:13 AM
Don't know if this has been posted but i thought it was a good interview

Rokko: When did you start making art? And what were the results?
Mackie Osborne: I started drawing animals as a kid, I ended up with a career in advertising and design.

Rokko: Did you go to an art school or are you an autodidact?
Mackie: I went to school. Although I have to say I've learned more from working that I ever learned in school. School can be good for learning social skills, they're important. Also learning to listen to input and take criticism gracefully is a very important skill set in this field, probably one of the most important skills you can learn.

Rokko: Who are artists [music, film, painting, writing, performance,... ] you admire and that have inspired you or still do?
Mackie: Those are some long lists... I like a lot of different stuff. Musically: David Bowie, the Melvins, of course, Patti Smith, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Zeplin, Big Black, Sex Pistols, Johnny Cash, Throbbing Gristle, Tool Artistically: Edward Gorey, Diane Arbus, Chas. Addams, Alex Steinweiss, Chip Kid, Vaugn Oliver... Writing: J.D. Salinger, C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Hafiz, Film: Blade Runner, Princess Bride, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, Dune, Fire Walk With Me, Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, My Neighbor Totoro, Snow White,

Rokko: How was your career as graphic artist? Since when can you live on making art?
Mackie: I've made a living doing art since the 80's. After school I worked in advertising for six years. Since then I've worked freelance, doing music packaging, some book design, art direction on a couple magazines, some entertainment stuff and whatever else came along.

Rokko: You also did work as art director for Eptiapth Records, didn

Why hasnt there been a topic for the solo stuff yet?

But was wondering, its cock end Grohl on this record with Buzzo isnt it, and it is listed on the back of the album as all songs written by the both of them so do you think Grohl gets any money from each one sold?

...listening to (a)sa thinking about how amazing it is really has blown me away. Wondering who i can get to listen to this album and who would genuinly like it, when i realised i have more melvins albums than i do friends.
Im not generally liked i must admit, but still i think this is brilliant is this just for me or anyone else? Or is it possible to have more friends than melvins albums there are a lot.
