PUNK BABES & POPSICLES

interview JORGE PEREZCHICA 

What is the Robin Eisenberg universe all about?

Babes, food, space, and sex, and foxes!

Tell us about your muses: mutant rock n’roll chicks, melting donuts, psychedelic pizza, and more? 

I like weird dream versions of the normal things that I love. Neon pizza in space, an alien teenager watching X-Files in bed, modern mermaids.

Your art is on everything from shoes to shower curtains. What inspired you to go into this venture and what is the craziest object you would want to print your artwork on?

It was feeling very limiting just to have my artwork on my computer or on pieces of paper. Putting my art on stuff that is out in the world feels awesome. I just had an avocado dress made and I love it! I think it would be super cool to have bandaids made, but I haven’t found anywhere to get them printed yet.

How did you get involved in illustrating for Desert Daze?

I’ve worked with Deap Vally on a couple posters/projects, and Julie from Deap Vally was very involved with Desert Daze. She wrote one day and asked if I would be up for doing a few illustrations of some of the bands. That was such a fun project!

What influences and inspires you as an artist?

Everything! I take notes on my phone constantly throughout the day. (An example of a note on my phone: haircut with cat ears / ramones forever / neon glasses palm trees.)

If colors represent emotions, how do you describe your neon world?

Bold, sexy, kinda strange.

You have bold female sexuality in your work. How do you want to empower women?

All women are powerful and sexy regardless of shape, size, color, style, etc. I want women to be able to look at themselves and see how awesome they are, and see that even the weird stuff is beautiful because it makes you YOU. And you are a babe.

What are you currently working on?

My next big step is to start up a clothing line with big patterns and prints and bright colors. Soon, soon!
