ROVE: What’s the best thing about being an artist?
MNSTR: My favorite part about being an artist is seeing the different reactions on people's faces when they see my work, be it happy or offended, invoking an emotion is my greatest reward……. and maybe also the odd sale here and there.
ROVE: What work of art do you wish you owned?
MNSTR: Anything Warhol would be amazing, his work has influenced me immensely.
ROVE: Where’s your favourite place to see art?
MNSTR: Boutique galleries and artist studios.
ROVE: What's the weirdest thing you ever saw happen in a museum or gallery?
MNSTR: Nothing in a gallery surprises me.
