Here's my full correspondence with Jim and Karla. Most of this interview was edited out of the book to give a little bit of info on everyone. Thanks again to the Murrays. Enjoy:
Hope you had a good holiday weekend. Sorry it took so long to get back to you but here are a few questions for the book. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer them! Also, just curious are you the same BANE that painted with the MSG guys on the 1492 wall in Ft Lauderdale that was done around 2001? We know you painted on the wall with the elephant background but weren't sure about that other wall.
To answer your "pre-question", yes I was on that wall and crew. That wall was put together by myself and DASK. We had PRISCO coming down from NY and he wanted to have an old explorer type feel to a production. So we sat down and banged out a layout.
1. How did you get your tag? Is there a story behind it?
BANE was a name I chose for a few reasons. I enjoyed it's definition as being poisonous, bringing a downfall, feeling of woe. At the time I was looking for a smaller, more fitting tag to use for bombing and I liked the letters/definition.
2. How would you describe your style of painting?
Well, in the beginning I concentrated a lot on the fluidity of my pieces. Learning this required a lack of complexity to my sketches. In other words, my pieces looked smooth, easy to interpret and not very noisy/busy. Lately, as is with everything in life I have begun building on this and adding to the complexity of them. I think, or I would like to believe that looking at something as simple as writing your name is a clue into what kind of person you are. This carries over into the question you asked and would say that my style of painting is well-thought-out. Calculated. Every letter, bit, extension, piece of 3-D, etc is positioned the way it is because that is exactly the way I felt it should be. I think the term "science fiction" works because I am using laws that I have put in place yet still being creative.
3. Did you have a mentor or are you self-taught?
My relationship with my mentors wasn't the typical teacher/apprentice relationship. The guys that schooled me were my peers. Friends. COMA showed me how to piece. CAR and OBAE, bombing. SEFER showed me how to sketch. CHASE gave me can control. CROME pushed me and that allowed me to advance my style. I think between the two of us we established how to do productions.
4. What crew/ crews are you down with?
I push my crew, RM. In the past I have been affiliated with some of the bigger crews in Miami: MSG and DAM. However I feel that we went in our different directions and I wasn't along for the ride either by my own decision (MSG) or the crews (DAM).
5. Do you mostly freestyle your pieces or sketch them out?
I have done both. I do prefer having a sketch though (refer back to question 2)
6. How did you get interested in graffiti in the first place? What was the motivation?
It was fascinating. Seeing the tags. Hearing the stories. Meeting new parts of the city. Breaking the law and getting away with it. Getting fame by recognition. Creating these masterpieces. Chilling with others that have different ways than your own. It actually gave you an honorable feeling when you met another writer whose work you've seen and they give you props.
As for the motivation, a lot of writers depend on competition to motivate them. I personally think that my graffiti is a way for people to know me that I haven't met and that it will outlast me as a person. I am just a man who lives in Miami during this period of time. Through documentation (like this book), my graffiti is accessible throughout the world and for the rest of civilization. I think that says something.
7. What do you think of the Miami graffiti scene in general?
Going back to what I was saying about motivation, I think a lot of people in this city are specifically concerned with what everyone else is doing. "We gotta do this cause they did that" or "I'm gonna go over so-and-so to get fame". Bullshit. You have the freedom to do whatever you want and you're stuck looking at everyone else and measuring against what they're doing? We need more originality down here as well as more self-focus.
As much as everyone talks about how much beef there is in this city at the same time there is a lot more unity as well. Look at how many more events there are. You guys are publishing a book. It's the whole "glass half-full" philosophy.
They were interviewing contestants for some new reality show. Reality continued around the interview.

For their show: Profesi. To tell you the truth, I've never seen the show before (don't watch a lot of local TV), but they say it'll air next month. My second interview with JakTV.
Had a great time being interviewed by Bill Lytton for PetaPixel.
"I first heard of Jim Mortram and his project ‘Small Town Inertia’ in the ‘Ones to Watch’ section of the British Journal of Photography. At first, I was happy that someone from my homeland, Norfolk, was making an impact in the photographic world. But of all projects I’d seen in BJP, Small Town Inertia was the only that gripped me.
Jim is a documentary photographer in the rural town of Dereham, Norfolk in the UK. The project portrays the lives of those “living on the fringe of society”, often focussing on the emotional, mental and physical hardships of those involved. The images, accompanied by text and quotations, make up this “long-form documentary and environmental portraiture series” with captivating brutal honesty.

Lewis turned up as a guess speaker for the exclusive evening. He arrived in his F1 car and the sound in the lobby was just Insane!!
I wined him... I dined him... and then [CK] and I interviewed each other at the same time!
[CK] interviews me!
Also: I changed my last name to Morrisson (explanation here for anyone bored enough to care). The _g is no more, so my name on CK's page isn't a typo. He is I and I am him.
Yay BJD meme! Yay!

Sandra was interviewed by this web magazine the other day, and here it is for you guys to read! Check it out. Page 52-55.
Some kind of interview taking place in the ocean from an unknown Spanish language show. It appears that the one in the white long sleeved dress shirt was the one being interviewed while the interviewer (who spoke much less) was the one in short sleeves. Wish I knew what was being said and the backstory behind this.

ESQ by Movado/ Quest Chronograph
39mm (with crown)/ Domed Crystal/ Swiss Quartz Movement/ White Dial/ Stainless Steel/ Black Leather Strap
Wait, an ESQ? Many watch enthusiast might snob over the the brand and feel disappointed in me with this purchase. The truth is, I am not ashamed by my choice. This watch was purchased right after colleague, Same day before my first interview. Newbie in adult world, dress with black suit, try to act like an adult then I realized I do not have a proper dress watch. Most of my watch choice are casual. I was unwilling to just wear any watch I own to go by.
The "go by" type of attitude in small things some times reflect on one's worth ethic. If I pay attention, my interviewer might pick on small details. I wasn't gonna take my chance. My interview was in the afternoon and I spend all morning trying to find one that would fit with my limited budget. This ESQ was my final decision. After all, it is still a watch brand unlike fashion labels such as Armani, DKNY. ESQ is under Movado and it priced I can afford. Strap it on right the way, my confidence gain just a little bit. I look proper and ready to tackle my first real life obstacle.
Did the interview go well? That is the point of my story. I was satisfied.
I have been so busy with the moving that I totally forgot to share with you my interview in Fluster Magazine. I hope you like enjoy it.

303 - Is it true that you love Bon Jovi?*
Babak - Love is nothing more than a four letter word - I admire any Artist that can do what they do, whether music photography or whatever despite all the bullshit, scams and disappointments. Someone said you get good at what you doing after 10,000 hours of doing it and i don't think a lot of people have the drive to do any thing that much .
3030 Tell us about your obsession with aeroplanes and are you a member of the mile high club? Babak - Airplanes like models always hang around runways and the mile high thing is so overrated!
303-Describe the moment you know that the photo you are taking is magical?
Babak - Sometimes it is right at the point of shutter release and sometimes it is years away in the future , every photo has a different time that it becomes magical.
303 - When did you start doing your infamous “jumpshots” (pictures of yourself jumping)
Babak - First one was a self portrait a light test on Polaroid back in 1996-ish ! I know - But they are fun, i like to do then with one other person and for me its like getting my self synchronized with the other person .
303 - How would you describe your style as a photographer?
Babak- i always say " i like to shoot people up in the right key"
