You've been involved in numerous colaborations over the years, what were some of your favourite?

I'm not sure that apart from working with Silas I've done many true collaborations. When I left college I did a shit-load of crap illustration jobs to make a living. I think an illustration commission is very different to a true collaboration, where I think you are given more responsibility and more room to be oneself. Sofia and Russell were really the first people to let me just get on with it.

What artists around today do you admire?

DELTA, Geneviève Gauckler, KAWS, Gary Panter, Parra, Will Sweeney

I've heard you're a keen runner? How often do you run?

I run every day - I do between 50 and 70 miles per week, depending on what I am training for. I run to work and back during the week. I've qualified to run the London Marathon next year as an Elite athlete, which is quite exciting.

Are you a fan of Streetwear, what brands do you like at the moment?

I find it quite diverting, but I have no interest in 'Streetwear' as any kind of seriously culturally substantial entity at all.  I like clothes and I think about what I wear, but I can't say I have any deeper engagement than that.

You recently colaborated with Will Sweeney's label Alakazam, have you got any plans to develop your own clothing label?

We've already been making shirts for Amos, which is fun. But in terms of Fashion with a capital 'F' I don't think it is where my strengths lie.

Where do you see Amos headed? What are your plans for the future?

The liberating thing about Amos is that as my own company it is a vehicle for any project that we want to put out there. With regards to really big undertakings like animation we realise we need partners because such things are logistically so huge.
