What does it take for a graphic to make it to your inspiration board?
"The board is kind of a mixture of old photos of family and friends, art from our 'zine Zina Cava, or just random stuff found while doing research. I have no rhyme or reason. I like to think of the bulletin board as a precursor to Tumblr — it's the same idea, but physical. It's nice to see everything all at once."
What are the top three items up there?
"The invitation to one of our shows that was a bottle of booze in a paper bag with the information handwritten on the bag — that's still one of the best invites we ever made. Also, the picture of my mom after giving birth to me, wearing red espadrilles. And, lastly, the Nerd Chic pin from the original release of Revenge of the Nerds."
You've been known to use travel for inspiration and have freshly landed from Sayulita, Mexico. What was it like?
"My boyfriend and I rented a car and just drove around the coast to hidden beaches and little towns. I never get tired of Mexico. Sayulita is great because it's not super built up, and there are great tacos and hippies that make amazing juices. The best things are the smaller towns along the coast and the quiet dirt roads through the jungle. Oaxaca and Santa Fe are on my list for the next inspiration trips!"
