Joyah Interviews knith

I was on IRC and I bumped into the guy who's been designing those kickass Tees. I may not know him personally, but I do know that this S.O.B. has got talent flowing in those veins. These are the thoughts of Kniht.

So shall we begin?

aight!

Introduce yourself as if you were going to pick up a chick

hi, i'm louis. i'm not good at picking up chicks

Preeet...the chick walks away. So how old are you?

i'm 18 this year..

In school?

hmm...waiting for my posting results...hopefully i can get into tp's imd...

IMD?

interactive media design

IC......so u into design shit(duh) Where do your ideas normally flow from?

hmm...from the things i see on the streets...the things i'm exposed to : rollers, grafitti, other designers, even skaters as in skateboarders

How'd u start rolling? What made u wanna roll at first?

hmm, i started with this girl from my secondary school, i told her i wanna pick it up, she seemed kindda interested, we bought our skates, we skated for 3-4 times, she listens to j-pop, she gets obsessed with j-pop, she stops rolling i'm all alone now i've been skating since primary 4

oh shit..sorry man.that kind of shit happens you know? So u rollin solo now?

solo...yea. rolling....seldom

U not rolling with any crew or buddies?

i doubt any crew would want a person who barely knows how to soul.. but i think i'll try asking rai and mud out to roll sometime..

It don't matter man......what matters is u wanna roll. So what skate u using?

roces khutis

Same as Mine! Describe your skates as a salesperson would

hmm. my skates's part of me... i'm not gonna sell it!!!....it is good, but it's bloody heavy... it's black it has a few scratches. i'm not a good salesperson i like my skates like i love design i'm not a good salesperson.

In the time that you have been in the rolling scene, what do you really think about it?

i feel that the rolling scene in singapore's really small....nearly unnoticable it's growing though.. with up and suicide label and all...i think it's comin' up soon i'd like to see singaporeans on daily bread

Yeah.....Suicide Label.....That shit makes me proud. I'd love to see Singaporeans on Daily Bread too

who wouldn't?

Maybe we'll see you on Daily Bread!

me? nah...i'm progressing way too slowly, i'll roll for the fun of rollin' maybe you'd catch my designs on db though haha

Yeah.... So what do you think should be done in order for Singaporeans to appear on DB?

keep rollin'. practice makes perfect.

Any people out there you wanna mention?

raihan! jerm! mud! nick! they helped me

Helped You? Wanna elaborate?

especially jeremy, he taught me how to soul.. heh hmm...they make me wanna roll, u know...they inspire me to roll keep talking about rollin' and stuff

Any last words?

yea. i like to roll. i like to design. do what you like becos' u like it, not becos' others are doing it.

Ok man. Peace.

thank you.
