Game designer, t-shirt designer, TV commentator, copywriter, tomato juice bottler. Mother (Earthbound in America) creator Shigesato Itoi does it all it seems. (And does it damn good.) In an sit down with the online Ping Magazine, Itoi sums up his M.O. by saying:

In short, what I do is all based on an idea of 'self-judgment.' I feel lost when people give the final judgment about my work. I've done all the persuasion, presentation, and negotiations myself, but then the judgement makes it feel like 'my life is over!' kind of thing. That isn't productive for either side, my clients or me, so I wanted to do something where I could make the judgment about my own ideas. And I wanted to learn from my own mistakes.

Interesting interview. Interesting interviewee. Brian Ashcraft
