For those of you who missed the post earlier in the week, I will be interviewing artist Derek Hess (http://www.derekhess.com), creator of Strhess Clothing (http://strhessclothing.com). Post any questions that you may want answered in the replies. PS...I'm really excited about this interview.

i first emailed derek a little under three years ago as i was trying to break into the business and he offered nothing but words of encouragement, really nice guy. a few months ago i went to a local deli who were displaying classic rock posters and it was great to see one of his from about 10 years ago alongside posters for the dead and the beatles.

Please don't sue them, I'm praying for a reunion and that would probably be discouraging
