Whenever I come back home (Nashville, TN) I impulsively have to walk the streets and comb the sidewalks for new graffiti that has been put up and that I now have to compete with. The first time I saw DIALOGS stickers on the street I freaked out and was immediately torn by my admiration and jealousy. It was like having his little robot angel and demons flying around my head as I bent down and just instinctively tried to peel his work: I KNEW IT WAS WRONG BUT I COULDN'T RESIST MY DESIRE TO KEEP IT 'FOREVER' IN ONE OF MY SKETCH BOOKS. Luckily for everybody else he prints his tight designs on quality materials and my half-crook schemes were foiled by a sticker that wouldn't let go. His work is well fitted for the streets too because he picks choice spots in the city to place his creations: ghosts drip out of gutter pipes and robot seem to fly off of transformers. He inspired me to get into the sticker act myself but like robots and dinosaurs themselves , he's just eons ahead of me.

Discomfort with a pillow. Cold with mittens on. Wet in the desert. This is what you get from Dialog. On one hand, cartoon characters that are as cartoonish, unreal, chunky and adorable as any other, and on the other hand, a sense of the downcast and outcasted, of watching angels wrestle demons. Cartoons are a lot of the time an insurance policy against feeling things too strongly - usually. But if you can break that, like Luke did, and make them a way to unravel and re-ravel your own inner workings, then you're making something uncommon and special. Robots with a heartbeat. Lions at the salad bar. A submarine in the carwash. This is what Dialog does.
