Otis Frizzell is, quite literally, a walking, talking, Taco-turning, collaborating, creative force of nature. His CV ranges from NZ’s highest profile graffiti artist, half of popular hip-hop duo MC OJ and Rhythm Slave, TV and radio celebrity, hip-hop performer, style-leader, graphic designer and chauffeur to the stars. Lesser known is that Frizzell is a passionate home cook, and it’s this peccadillo that’s found Otis and his wife Sarah cruising around Auckland and parked outside Flying Fish at 230 Ponsonby Road in their super cool food truck, The Lucky Taco. – theluckytaco.co.nz

Which creative in this world would you love to have a beer or a cup of tea with and why?
Owen Dippy. Because he lives down the line and I don‘t get much of a chance to see him these days. I think he‘s doing a lot for the New Zealand ‘low art‘ scene.

What’s a small everyday action that makes this world a better place?
Being polite. It‘s so simple and makes everything glide along smoothly.

Tell us three things that inspire you and why?
My contemporaries. Trawling through Facebook. Going outside. A lot of my best ideas have come from seeing what other people are doing. Not copying them, but just getting inspired. Sometimes I can be razzed up by someone‘s crap. I think “that was nearly a good idea. I reckon I could build on that and make it awesome…”
