Interview with Tristan Kerr, a font artist based in Adelaide, Australia.<\/h2>\n

When I was in Adelaide<\/a> for my Longing To Be Knotted Together tour<\/a>, I met a cool, soft and educated artist named Tristan Kerr.<\/strong>
\nCool, soft, and educated ? I swear I was in Australia. The talented and civilized artist is a font master, and I was happy to exchange some of my screen-prints<\/a> with a couple of his beautiful artworks.
\nLiving in Bali, I dream about an Australia with more Tristan Kerrs, and less shameless bogans (I mean stupid, pretentious, ignorant, and drunk bogans. I mean cricket & footy enthusiasts). Enjoy tasty treats.

PLEASE SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROCESS<\/strong>
\nMy Art is always hand-made from start to finish. From hand illustrating the design\/typography, to hand screen-printing the finished piece. My traditional screen-print process allows me to work completely computer free.<\/p>\n

HOW DOES YOUR ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE YOUR ART<\/strong>
\nTraveling is a big part of my life, so changing environments continually inspire me. Living in new environments have helped spark new idea’s and approaches to my application of art, whether it\u2019s a Hand Screen-printed poster or a Street Art piece.<\/p>\n
