Signature Mouths - BobbyBobson

Can you believe it? It’s the final Signature Series interview already! Our 12th and last interview is saved for a man we hold dear to our hearts, and one of London’s most exciting young designers, the legendary BobbyBobson™. As one of ustwo’s own, we chose him to perform a MouthOff™ miracle and create a mouth that allows you to speak as Mills™, allowing you to let the love flow! All sounding a bit obscure? Just try the Bobby mouth out (released soon) and see what happens…

1. Why do you think the mouth you created rocks?
Because it’s made from rock, space rock, the kind of rock that knows how to rock and will show you how to rock, no questions asked.

2. Where did your inspiration come from?
The future, the past and some other stuff

3. Tell us a situation where MouthOff™ could be useful!
If you’re going to an intergalactic space rock disco this mouth will get you served at the bar and a dance with  a smoking blue skinned girl

4. Tell us a few words about yourself!
BOBBYBOBSON, aka Rob Boyett, is a designer, illustrator, disco dancer. Originally from the heart of England, Nottingham, now found mooching round the East End of London.

Signature Mouths - Paris Hair

Neil McFarland aka Paris Hair is a long time collaborator of ustwo™ and is the penultimate MouthOff™ Signature Series interview. We Love his style, and especially admire the skills deployed on this Diesel campaign he worked on.

1. Why do you think the mouth you created rocks?
When 10 tons of love collides with the iPhone, mountains move - THAT is why my mouth rocks.

2. Where did your inspiration come from?
Like everything I do I draw inspiration from the women around me. In this case a gap-toothed singer from Wales who showed me friendship late one summer evening…

3. Tell us a situation where MouthOff™ could be useful :)
When hanging out with intergalactic beings or to impress anyone with eyes.

4. Tell us a few words about yourself!
Neil McFarland was raised by old women in Yorkshire but now resides happily on London’s Southbank with his wife and twin sons.

Neil learned to ride a bike in Canada. He learned how to draw by being left alone for vast periods of time with only paper and pens for amusement and regards the journey from childhood doodling to Parishair.com as an inevitable one.

An accomplished animator and illustrator Neil has  produced music videos, created levels for computer games, published comic strips, defaced Darth Vader’s head and sold his own folk art.

Neil one day hopes to travel to another Galaxy.

Signature Mouths - PYKY

The 10th Signature Series interview is with the multi talented power house PYKY whose work has been rocking the scene for more years than we can remember. As a classically trained animator PYKY was an obvious choice for MouthOff™, that combined with his traditionally Gaelic gift of the gab means his Signature mouth has to be a winner. He’s got the skills, he gives us thrills! Gurn away with the PYKY mouth, g’wan, g’wan g’wan!!

1. Why do you think the mouth you created rocks?
Because if you mention rock and mouth in the same sentence Shane is the first ting that pops into my heed

2. Where did your inspiration come from?
Whiskey and sweets!

3. Tell us a situation where MouthOff™ could be useful
Best used for easily avoiding unwanted attentions =)

4. Tell us a few words about yourself!
Pikey, actually spelt PYKY, is Dublin born, London based and has displayed many fighting techniques. Colourful, bright and vibrant, he’s covered all angles with tee’s, animation, caricatures and fairly punchy illustration and artwork…Wanna buy a gate?

Signature Mouths - Jeffrey Bowman aka Mr. Bowlegs

Interview no. 9 is with Jeffrey Bowman aka Mr. Bowlegs. We LOVED Jeffrey’s latest Computer Arts cover work (Issue 160) so much we simply had to have him on board the MouthOff™ love train!

1. Why do you think the mouth you created rocks?
Because its rocks, and rolls! and it combines two of my favorite things, a mustache and space!

2. Where did your inspiration come from?
Too many hours pondering the universe and scratching my chin,

3. Tell us a situation where MouthOff™ could be useful
Joining in on a boffins conversation, while pretending to look whimsical and clever scratching your chin!

4. Tell us a few words about yourself!
I am Jeffrey Bowman, 23, living and working in the UK as a freelance illustrator, designer and all round maker of imagery. I love gnarly textures and mixing in detailed line work along with the exploration of geometry and structure.

Signature Mouths - Chent

Garden Gate it’s number 8! Our eighth Signature Series interview is with the mighty Chent. Why did we choose him to do a MouthOff™ mouth? Because we love him that’s why, and you should too…

1. Why do you think the mouth you created rocks?
It rocks because this is Kakuula’s mouth. Kakuula is a looser, and nowadays, being a looser ROCKS!! (But who the hell is Kakuula?)

2. Where did your inspiration come from?
The White Buffalo Calf Woman whispered this idea into my dreams.

3. Tell us a situation where MouthOff™ could be useful
Actually, you can use it in many different situations. If you want to ask a raise from your boss, or if you face the Buffalo Calf Woman for exemple.

4. Tell us a few words about yourself!
Chent is a french artist living in London, who gives birth on his sketchbooks to a lot of weird characters, which end up being used to create either animations, illustrations, customs, paintings or products. His style is a mixture of Hip Hop, Primitive Art and chamanism.
