Why did you choose Amsterdam to begin with?
“When it comes down to it, this is the best place for my work. There are a lot of advertising agencies here, brands, events. It’s easy to tap into the creative community. It’s a great place for art.”

I’ve had a lot of fun at this park with my kids and when I stumbled upon Mick’s interview & learned the story behind it, I was stoked. Then when I read
some recent writing by the author, Shoko Wagner, I was even more stoked. This may be my new mantra too:
“Adventure may hurt, but monotony will kill you” Doesn’t get radder than that!
