Q: Sooooo. You seem to like monkeys. How long have you been working as a creative?

A: 11 years, 6 months and 2 days.

Q: Precise answer. You must be a precise man. So precisely how many Steri Stumpies do you drink, on average, per week?

A: Half in my rice crispies, three quarters in a beer mug with lunch and a seventh in a port glass before bed. So that’s 9 and three quarters per week.

Q: That’s nice. Nice and precise. So tell us Patrick, when is your favourite occasion to drink a Steri Stumpie?

A: Right at the end of the rice crispies - with a spoon.

Q: You’re clearly a slurper then. Shllllrp. Whats your favourite flavour Steri Stumpie to shlurp with a spoon?

A: Banana obviously.

Q: Fair enough, stupid question from us. Do you find Steri Stumpies help you with your ideas?

A: Only to gauge funny ideas by the amount spraying out of my nose.

Q: Sounds reasonable. Nose spray has been an accurate gauge of creativity for centuries. You clearly like to keep it simple. What do you use as inspiration for you work?

A: Tremendous folk music.

Q: Oh ja! Nothing like a little folk to put the yellow in your yolk huh. Okay. Fine. All Good. Please give us a link to any awesome projects you’re working on right now, so people can see more of your radness.

Say a welcome to Patrick Latimer, brother of Alex. Some of his work:

And an up-and-coming ilustrator who is still studying at AAA, Dylan Wyndham a.k.a Just Wyndham. His work

We’re super amped to have just started briefing our team of Steri Stumpie illustrators, with whom we’ll be working to create some Limited Edition Levi’s® T-Shirts. We’re not going to say just yet what we’ll be using them for, but you won’t be able to buy them - yes, that’s how rad they’re going to be. The brief to the illustrators is pretty cool - design a full-colour illustration inspired by your favourite Steri Stumpie flavour. The designers who have accepted the brief so far are as follows:

Alex Latimer, see an example of his work below:

Jordan Metcalf aka Sad Mascot:

Ian Jepson:

Dylan Jones aka Theory One:

And Daniel Ting Chong:

We’re still looking for another 2, so if you know anyone who’s up for it, leave us a link with some work or mail us. We’re super amped to see what the guys come up with. No doubt it will be extremely awesome.

UPDATE:

We have found  our last 2 illustrators and will anounce them shortly. Thanks for your submissions
