If you took the time to click on the list of sites in the “Blogroll” on this site, you’ll find serious sites about marketing, culture, literature and design. Then there’s a link to a site named after it’s famous founder, Ze Frank. Consider this a warning: if you start exploring this site you may find yourself losing 8 hours to it. It’s addictive. Poke around long enough, you might even find a message from its founder that says “I made everything on this site for you… I like you the best. Please don’t tell the others.” Seriously, so many have come, yet it feels like Ze is talking directly to you. Recently Ze Frank generously took time out of his busy schedule to speak with Mark Busse at Industrial Brand about how his site came to be selected as one of Time Magazine’s Coolest Websites of 2005, creativity, inspiration and the weirdest thing he ever ate.
An excerpt:
IBC:Ze, when you’re working on a creative project – either corporate or personal, what are your favorite techniques for developing ideas or unlocking your brain?
ZF: I strive to get to brain lock as often as I can. Becoming comfortable in that space of hyper-anxiety where you feel like potentially you have drained everything out of yourself and you might very well live the rest of your life as a potato is a really good thing to do.
Please check back soon for the balance of the Ze Frank interview.
