San Antonio DIY T-shirt artist Mr. Skunk talks appropriation, provocation and politics

During a First Friday art crawl late last year, I happened upon a guerilla-style pop-up of irreverent T-shirts designed and printed by an artist who goes simply by the moniker Mr. Skunk. "While I appear publicly to sell my stuff, I prefer to [remain anonymous] so the focus is on the idea and not 'me' per se," he later explained in a text that also referenced the eyeball helmet-wearing avant-garde art-rock collective The Residents and their so-called "Theory of Obscurity."
