Featured Artist :: Pause Designs

pause designs

This week's featured artist is Pause Designs!

Pause Designs - Malls suck. Support underground.

Senioritis: Name and location please.
Pause Designs: Ken, Andrew, Eric. St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada.
Senioritis: What's up guys, looks like we have some new friends from north of the border, eh!

Senioritis: For starters, can you tell us a little about Pause?
Pause Designs: We are a streetwear brand out of Southern Ontario, consisting of three artists that met in high school. We specialize in unique limited edition t-shirts and other apparel.
Senioritis: That's awesome! We're trying to get back into the apparel side of things as well.

Senioritis: How would you describe Pause's style?
Pause Designs: Streetwear with cartoon surrealist content.
Senioritis: Sounds pretty unique, your designs are great!

Senioritis: Any favorite colors?
Pause Designs: We don't see in colours, man. We are all equal.
Senioritis: Fair enough.

everything you ever wanted v neck
Senioritis: Righty or Left?
Pause Designs: Neither.
Senioritis: Didn't know that was possible, more power to ya.

Senioritis: Do the guys over at Pause have a favorite quote?
Pause Designs: Everything in this video.
Senioritis: Yeah buddy!! Nothin to it but to do it, we couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Senioritis: If you could have lunch with someone famous, past or present, who would it be?
Pause Designs: How about Batman? We'd like to know what he's eating, y'know? How does he keep such a trim figure? We bet it's a lot of fiber. Maybe a steroid sandwich or two, or no carbs after 8pm, or something like that. Plus, you know the meal is going to be ritzy. The guy is a bazillionaire. And you get to meet his butler Alfred too! Not too shabby.
Senioritis: We have heard that the key to Batman's firm figure is watching the aforementioned Ronnie Coleman video 6 times each morning before going to the gym and from what we gather chasing bad guys is a pretty good cardio workout.

Senioritis: What's your favorite cartoon, from now or when you were a kid?
Pause Designs: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We always thought that playing with radioactive ooze was a bad thing, the Turltes taught us otherwise. (Andrew was totally Casey Jones for Halloween. Awesome).

Senioritis: Can't go wrong with the Turtles; we always found it interesting that they were named after Ranaissance masters. Any Casey Jones pictures?

Senioritis: Where do you see yourself and your business in 10 years?
Pause Designs: Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of you asking us this question!

Senioritis: Haha touche, we'll drink to that.

Senioritis: Any websites that we should know about?
Pause Designs: pausedesigns.com, pause designs on twitter, pause designs on facebook.

your wish is granted

Senioritis: Any shoutouts?
Pause Designs: Mel Smith, Chompsy, Ice Cube, Golden Horseshoe, Banana Snapple, The Hurt Locker (not the movie, the real locker), Tom Hanks (circa 1980's), Sleeping Giant Gallery, switch-blade combs, and anyone who has ever purchased one of our shirts, or said anything nice about us. You're making this dream job possible.


A big thanks to Ken, Andrew, and Eric for opening themselves up to us and our followers! Your work rocks! And a call to our readers, please check out Pause's shop for some really sweet artwork and apparel. In the words of some wise Canadians please remember: Malls suck. Support underground.
