Who are you? Charles Williams aka PHAT1 TMD…
Occupation? NZ Sales manager for IRONLAK and full-time Artist…
Your influences past and present? Some of my influences are shaped by mistakes I have made in the past and learning from them leaving me wanting to do better and try harder…Others are people like my extended family TMD CREW. Everyone in the crew is so talented and are breaking new ground in the art forms it’s inspiring also. What shoes and clothes are you wearing? – SHOES = Nike air max 95, CLOTHES = Black DICKIES slim jean, KMART check shirt, POSTIE PLUS puffer-vest, Sox NEW ERA cap. Where did you get them from? SHOES = Brought off a friend who had these stashed as dead stock, CLOTHES = Dickies, Kmart, Postie Plus, and cap from Custom Teez. Why have you chosen these shoes + outfit For e.g. Style, Comfort, Fashion? Style mainly because in winter my style tends to lean more towards the lumber-jack-street LA gangster. Style I believe that goes between labels that are well known, simple, dope and cheap. Like Nike, Dickies, Kmart or Postie Plus. Favourite items or must haves?Favourite items are my NIKE AIR MAX 95, and JORDAN 1′S red/black. What was the first pair of shoes you just had to have? VANS Authentics because they look dope, clean or dirty. I wouldn’t care if someone stole them or they get destroyed from wear and tear – but if they were my Air Max 95′s or Jordan 1′s my emotions will get a lot more involved….
