On Saturday night we finally linked up with DALEK for an interview.  Due to conflicting schedules we thought we were going to have to push him to another issue, but everything worked out.  It was real cool because Chip who apprencticed for DALEK for a couple of years is the one who conducted the interview.  This worked out real well because Chip knew all the right questions to ask to really make this interview different from anything DALEK has done in the past.  Probably the most interesting part to me was talking to DALEK about the designer toy industry and his experiences in that field.  DALEK had a ton of success with the vinyl toys, but he had a lot of real interesting stuff to say about oversaturation of that market. He also talked about his graffiti days and being down with NAA.  He  gave us a few good top 3’s for 80’s flicks and music albums and he talked about traveling and moving all around the world as a kid and the influences that had on his art work.  The interview was over 1 hour which means I will be transcribing like a mother for the next few days but it will be worth it for a good finished product.  DALEK sent us over a grip of images and photos this week.  We have also decided to do a split cover, so 1,500 copies will have a cover designed by DALEK  and 1,500 copies will be a cover designed by JOR.
