An exclusive interview with Jimi Martinez

NP: I AM NEON PHOSPHOR.

JM: i am aware of that. you were a pretty good song, but i always thought Madman was the best

NP: HOW DID YOU GET YOUR GIG DRAWING FOR THE TONICS (THEN CALLED SCULPTED STATIC)?

JM: well first Sculpted Static is an infititly better name, but since i knew i the members of the group on a personal level, and i was total captured by there music, i knew that i ultimatly had to give my talents to them. kinda like how Roger Dean provides the true visiuals to the band "Yes" albums and how gerald Scarffe made the uniqe look for Pink Floyds the wall. i wanted that kinda noteriety and connection with Sculpted Static

NP: WHAT HAS JIMI THE ARTIST BEEN DOING SINCE THEN?

JM: Well i wish i could say ive been drawing like mad, but for the most part, ive been observing. Observing the world around me, looking for inpiration and adventure to talk about in hopefully future autobiography. Ive also been working day care. Some would say what the hell is a lunatic like me (laughs) is doing working with children, well the answer is simple.. Children are alot more easy to deal with than adults.

NP: ANY PLANS TO BRING BACK THETRYINGMADCAP XANGA?

JM: ah, good ol Xanga. I think i painted myself in corner with that. At first i wanted leave it in fear of running out of things to write about, but then i just end up missing it, but when i return i cant think of one good thing to say.

im currently working on some stuff for the site soo keep an eye out for future post.

NP: no problem Mr. Phosphor, anytime
