Theme Magazine has a good interview with artist/designer Tobias Wong, by Rob Walker no less.
That question hits an important point in my work (and pet peeve), because many people are always interested in how I get work out there, financially. And it’s quite simple. If there’s something I really believe in, I just find a way to make it happen. No daily Starbucks (US$4) or cigs ($8) or dining out ($20), and before you know it you’ve got the money to do something.
The Gold Pill, filled with 24k gold leaves, was designed by Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid to add some sparkle to your life. “Pure gold passes straight through the body and ends up in your stool resulting in sparkly shit!” We’ll have to see it to believe it.
Three pills retail for $275 at the New Museum.
