Ushiri: “World famous for his epic backdrops that have been all over the globe, from Japan to Mexico. If you are lucky you can sometimes see a postman hugging a tree with his both arms and legs, half a meter up from the ground, in my town. I met NOS at a techno party in the nineties somewhere in the South of Sweden, because he was the only one there also wearing tights with fractals in psychedelic colors by the cloth brand “Spacetribe!”

Ushiri: I met her in Folkest park Malmö when we both were participating in the scientific conference on degrowth. The thing that stood out is that she was wearing chokers and that´s allmost only common for teenage girls in Sweden and that intrigued me to start talking to her. We had wonderful walk around the city and good discussion about all things in life but then something horrible happened, I let this lovely Ukrainian try Swedish candy and she fell madly in love…with candy. She bought more than a kg to bring home.

Ushiri: My mother became friends with my dad’s former wife, she had a kid who turned out to be really cool. That kid was Henrik. He wrote the background story to my boardgame “Nuke Norway Now” and also composed a soundtrack for it on the same topic. He’s also the creator of the “Carrot hymn” that can be read on the backside of this magazine.
Published first in USHiRimagazine#1 Quite a philosopher and an experimental musician, now he is trapped in a dogshelter cause of the pandemic but I hope to see him soon and learn about his boardgameproject and travellings (21-01-05?)
A nomad by nature who has travelled the world with her car since 2017. I meet Nancito and her good friend Juan Pablo when she wrote to me through couchsurfing and asked if they could hang out at my place for a couple of days. I got excellent help from them with my exhibition and they played epic stuff in their underwear a whole morning for me 😀 Contact: nancitotaylor@gmail.com

Carrot for creativity? The reason is to push out all those crazy ideas inside of my head so I can survive mentally, It is a must so I won´t kill myself. Stupidity of humanity of mankind is inspirational.
Other Inspiration & values: Techno music in all forms, especially Gabber. I´m Inspired by the french clean lines, especially those by Giraud/Moebius. Robert Crumb with his exceptional crosshatching and free mind, Swedish horror artist Hans Arnold, gender values and equality. Antiheroes,Stupidity of humanity.
Cute art: Some of my art is very cute and childish since I´m a big lover of fairytales and childrens books with nice adventures I would love to someday publish and sell my book about “Cuties and monsters” which also exists as an unpublished tactical boardgame with a dynamic ruleset.
Provocative art & Dark humour: Something I really love to do is provoke people to think and especially laugh and if you go through my page or instagram you will find lots of it.
Horor/Gore & Erotic art: Also something I enjoy to draw especially horror. My inspirations are Hans Arnold and Jonna Björnstjerna
Portraits: Is something I started to do in 2021. Some of my followers on my instagram account asked me about doing portraits of them and I just did semirealistic surealistic quick ones and I noticed it was quite fun and also very interesting. I dont take commissions usually but it can be discussed.
Do you do drugs ? NO, I have a developed a surrealistic psychedelic mindset by myself and this is a question I get from time to time, I tried Marijuana 1999 but it was not for me and have no interest what so ever trying anything either. Coffee & carrots is all I need and I prefer things that are connected to my vision. It´s a personal thing if someone likes to do that, I dont judge people by that because I respect the individual choice.

Background mentally & Artwise: I never grew up. My dad was drinking a bit to much and my mother was overburdened. She got a cycloid psycosis and went in and out in mental instution in St:Lars in Lund most of the 80´s. From 9 years of age to 15 I lived at 8 different temporary placements: fosterhomes, child orphanage, friends of the family and elsewhere. I went to 8 different classes in those years aswell. I had ADHD but the term was not invented and my grades sucked ass.This made me extremly obnoxious because I wanted to be in control of my life. I can´t count the physical fights I have been a part of as both a kid and a grown up even though I did not like it was allways a fight against others since there was allways a bully in each class. I got beaten all the time but never gave up. Problem with growing up like this is that it will probably create the following future: Alcoholic, criminal, junkie or dead. I went inside of myself and computer games quite much saved my life. I allways said no to drugs because I feelt it was the easy way to escape. Many of my friends from when I grew up are now dead because they made shitty life choices in overdose or killed themselfs. I never feelt the need for drugs since I have allways been able to go inside of my on mind, problem is going out of it.When people met me they see a grown up man but I´m just as curious on life as I was when I was a kid. This background really made me sort of Utvecklingsstörd/Retarded because my growing up was extremly disturbed and it still haunts me to this day. The amount of papers I have from all placements and shit could easily become half a bible. Still I enjoy life and with this behind me and has made me never judge a book its cover.
I have been drawing since he was 4 years old or earlier. First strong memory of my artwork was when my mother was crying hard because I had re-decorated the bathroom with a black marker, and asked her ” Don´t you think it looks nice? “, Good times good times.
Creative music listening? Energy come out of total chaos in full speed techno ( Gabber,splittercore and all other techno with fat beats,, disharmony, folkmusic fushion, stringmusic , and latest the russian space operea terror audiovisual band ICE3peak.
Education: Said no to Konstfack/University of Arts and went for a one year Comicsartschool ” Serieskolan “in Malmö 1999.
Occupation: Different artprojects and Fountainhouse Malmö Sweden at the media section alongside members.
Art is regularly exhibited in Malmö at: The Veganbar, Dåndimpen recordshop, Café Jesusbaren, Fontänhuset Malmö and at permanent exhibitions at Drottninggatans psykiatri, 2 corridors with big psychadelic figures all over the place.

Ushiri: We met for the first time when he was four, and my strong memory was when he was together with his mum and me at a café, and he lay down on the floor screaming like a stuck pig and wanted to go home. I never forgot that voice and now we are brothers in arms in a melodic genitalia rockband. Contact:@hashtag_spexig on Soundcloud:https://soundcloud.com/dudeletsgroove
