Sethy is one of those people who somehow seem to be able to shape the creative atmosphere of Norman. Maybe that’s because he’s involved with just about everything. You can find his music work here, here, here, and here. And some of his printmaking here. Oh yeah, and one of his bands is playing HallOPOLIS on Halloween. You should go.

Where are you from?
Norman, currently.

What do you do?
Um, a little bit of a lot of things and probably not enough of one single thing. I’ve been working on fixing that lately. I play music. Bass in Student Film, bass in Umbrellas, drums in Toil and Trouble, as well as sing and play guitar in Gentle Ghost. I also have been known to go on tour playing with bands that hire me. I do freelance design work and collaborative art endeavors with my lifelong friend Timothy Ryan Elliott. We do a lot of screen printing. I also enjoy cooking and baking with a sweet girl named Becky.

Who or what do you use for inspiration?
I wish I had some sort of control over that. Mostly it’s derived from dreams. I often have dream experience where I accept them as reality until a bear or a tornado shows up. I am also quite inspired by my loved ones. I know I would be in a much darker place without the light of their love illuminating my path.

What artists do you respect right now?
Right now and forever more: Jared Flaming. Chase Pagan. Charlie Hall. Beau Jennings. Timothy Ryan Elliott.

What are you sick of?
I’m sick of not being the patient man I want to be.

What music are you listening to recently?
Phoenix, Grizzly Bear, David Bazan, Big Star, Camera Obscura.

What is your first creative memory?
Wow, what a fun question. I remember drawing pictures of dinosaurs and water-coloring them with my mom. I was so amazed at how legitimate her Brontosaurus looked. I was probably four. She still amazes me to this day.

What is your favorite food/drank spot in Norman?
Pad Thai on Boyd, spicy basil noodles with tofu. For drinks, at home with friends.

Anything else?
Thanks to you Tate, for so successfully starting and maintaining this great blog.
