CROWNFARMER WEEK 1 - TODD BRATRUD
After a nearly 2 year hiatus it is with great pleasure that I re-introduce my t-shirt brand, Crownfarmer! From now until forever it will be holding hands with Club Mumble to bring you a t-shirt designed by a member in good standing along with a quick interview with them.
Week 1 is a design by longtime Mumbler, Todd Bratrud! Click HERE to grab one of his tees or continue reading to learn a little more about Todd and what he does…
What was the first design you ever got paid for?
it was my first ever board graphic for Consolidated Skateboards, a monkey wrench covered in blood. i wasnt paid in cash money, so i dunno if this answer still counts as “paid” the way you are asking. i was given 4 boards, which isnt shit, but at the same time, just to have done a board graphic for me was worth more than any amount of money.
What was the last design you got paid for?
A set of 2 graphics for Sean Malto on Girl. the graphics are in relation to his biker gang, “The Deuces Wild”. Heavy shit man… heavy shit.
What’s your favorite book ever?
McGillicuddy’s pool by Dr Seuss.
What was the last book you bought?
A book about russian prison tattoos.
If you had to list your top 3 influences, what or who would they be?
1. SKATEBOARDING
2. Late 70s pinball machines
3. Girls
What’s the worst thing about your life right now?
How long its taking.
What’s the best thing about your life right now?
My life in general.
