Proto-Gaga VS Mike Ruiz

I like to present people in a way that's unexpected. I guess I'm a little bit of a shock and awe junkie, part of it has to do with that. It's mostly me kind of tapping into some underlying thing about people that I see and just kind of want to bring to the surface. 

Obviously my aesthetic and the kind of way I do everything, super-stylized and surreal, Lady Gaga totally appeals to me. I would love to work with her. Outside of that I have to say, like all of my old, iconic people that I've always dreamed about working with... I kind of have! I'm pretty fortunate in that respect. It really depends on what people are doing, that's relative, that's inspiring to me.*
