One-On-One Interview with Elvis1976

[MisterToyNYC]

Greetings:

I just posted an interview I did with Sébastien Bontemps (Elvis1976).

This will hopefully be the first of many interviews with the artist and up-and-coming artist who make this hobby great.

Check it out... ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEW WITH SEBASTIEN BONTEMPS (ELVIS1976).

All comments are welcome.

Thanks.
Eric

I thought this thread was about an interview with Presley from 1976.

LOL! I would have assumed that reaction from a newbie. On this board when someone saye "Elvis1976" we all know who they're talking about. The King of Customzing.

This time of year I usually have EP on the brain.

This is Good MisterToyNYC

Great to know more about the artists who contribute so much to the community.

I always thought someone might come up with this idea. Really like the Member of the Week concept at SF too, where with the artists, even the long time collectors are interviewd.

Short but good, Seb is a truely talented guy and we're all lucky to have him around to admire his work.

 

[vik2001]

U didnt ask him if he wakes up in the middle of the night dreaming about figures or his work. Lol
Great interview

 

[Wor-Gar]

Very cool! Seb's a great guy, one of the most talented customizers out there.

I have one of his first bits from long ago -- a real fabric Scarecrow mask and straitjacket from 2008 -- which I still treasure and which kept me from ever having to buy the HT one. In fact, the HT one looks like they basically copied what Seb did, right down to the tears in the jacket. I'm honored to have a piece of early Elvis.

 

[MisterToyNYC]

I sometimes wonder if HT and the other companies sees Seb's work and say "Hey, we better up our game!"

Hail to the King Baby!

 

[mightyq]

very nice...as a huge fan and collector of seb's art, this was great, although short it was nice to hear a little in depth from him.....great job eric....

 

[Dark Passenger]

Very cool. I'm guessing there'll be a part 2 then?

 

[MisterToyNYC]

Very cool. I'm guessing there'll be a part 2 then?

There's nothing scheduled right now, but knowing how quickly Seb keeps improving, a "Part 2" is inevitable.

I have a few other artists lined up.

Stay tuned.
