Mike Taylor skiing as a young man.

Powder’s Art Director Mike Taylor is the happiest son-of-a-bitch alive. English-born, Canadian-raised and American-employed, he goes through almost every minute of life like he just found a hundred bucks under a box of kittens at the end of a rainbow that shits Skittles. He also makes InDesign his little bitch and is responsible for making BroBomb contributor Cody Townsend look really, really good on the cover of last year’s September issue of The Skier’s Magazine (admire that snow blending perfectly into that storm cycle!). Self-admittedly not a big reader, “Basher” is here to give you all a few books and blogs to check out while the snow sadly melts (or falls) outside your window.

Name: Mike Taylor

Age: 24

Party? Of course.

What was the last book you read? World War Z by Max Brooks.

If you had to be stuck on a lift and could only bring one piece of reading material, what would it be? How long would I be stuck for? If it was a long time I probably bring one of the Twilight books and use it to start a fire to keep me warm.

Top 5 places to go for inspiration: The mountains, galleries, the internet, my house, the bookstore. 

Top 3 blogs for design nerds? Designspiration.net, magculture.com, ffffound.com

Before this interview, had you ever heard of BroBomb.com before? Yes, but because of you.
