Both parts of a two-part interview with graphic designer and illustrator Jeffrey Everett debuted this past Monday. Among topics covered are art school, fine art Vs. graphic design, music gig posters, creating officially licensed works for the WWE of Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, Bobby Heenan, why his Mick Foley poster was rejected, creating logos and a birthday card for the Pope (not the wrestler!), working “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibase tributes into posters for the band Idles and more!
On Tuesday, a must-listen-to interview was released on the Masks, Mats and Mayhem show as the crew was able to talk with the driving force behind the look and feel of the Lucha Underground TV series, Executive Producer and El Rey Chief Creative Office Skip Chaisson.
