Boujour TLG associates 

What you see in front of you is a interview with a long time member of the TLG family.

PATRICIO ULLOA has his roots in drenched in the skateboard world and well . . . GhostBusters, when he's not grinding up a storm on the ol' shred stick or reenacting scenes from GB he can be seen drawing whatever is in his reach.

This is his 2 minutes of fame

Enjoy!

TLG: How did your art show at The Bait Shop go ?

PATRICIO: The art show at the Baitshop was good, Greg is great. I think only my sister and my dad bought stuff, but I don't really make art for people to buy, I make it for people to see, that sounds really lame.

TLG:  Were you that kid in JK that always ate the finger paint?

PATRICIO: I don't think I was ever in JK, I was in regular Kindergarten and I hated finger painting and painting .I felt like I couldn't control it and it frustrated me.

TLG:  What's the deal with the love affair with Ghostbusters?

 

PATRICIO: Ha,ha,ha Ghostbusters?  That is the best movie ever and the best theme song. I have loved Ghostbusters since I was really young. I watched the movie every day and the cartoon every morning, collected the toys ate the cereal. I even reenacted the movie for guests... I guess I never grew out of it.

TLG:  Are you still doing " RADICAL" grip tape jobs?

PATRICIO: Mostly just for myself these days, I don't really have the means to sell it, I have been considering starting that again... That was a Perception/Common Ground thing... you might see them pop up at Blue Tile Lounge.

TLG: Best story from the old Percy days?

 

PATRICIO: Oh man there are way too many. Shooting Photos with Nathan, Warren's freestyle, praying for my life in the back seat of Greg(Wilson)'s car. Honestly every day was better than the next when that shop was open.

 

TLG: With work as well as school how do you find time to be creative?

 

PATRICIO: I pretty much have to focus all my creativity on school right now. I am not working at the moment. I go back and forth working at S&J Sales.They are good to me.

TLG: What's the most obscure collectable you own?

PATRICIO: I have a few: A framed Unicorn poster, a Jewel of the Nile movie poster from '85, and I just bought a Peter Sellers Record.

TLG: A trains leaving Boston at 2:39 pm and another train is leaving Toronto at 2:55 pm . What's your favorite  colour?

 PATRICIO: I like brown, pink, and pale blues... I am a fan of Wes Anderson movies and I like the colours that are predominant in his movies, mostly The Life Aquatic.

TLG:  Vanilla or chocolate?

PATRICIO: I usually buy Vanilla Soy milk, but chocolate is good too.

TLG: What next for the Pat Man?

   

 PATRICIO: I am working on doing some collaborations. Gnarly Nathan Brown has already confirmed that he is "in". Other tan that; I have started taking some medium format photos and I am going to start showing my Polaroids. I want to do some more shows, make t shirts, finish school, get married settle down and have a taco..( I am hungry let's get a taco)

I've also started drawing with my left hand and documenting my progress, it is like learning all over again... or like skating switch.
