When I started Dylan's Candy Bar in 2001, I wanted it to be a place that merged my love of pop culture, fashion, art and music with candy. Since then, we have been fortunate to pioneer artistic partnerships with many legends.

I collect candy packaging from around the world and believe it has the value of Pop Art.

I'm a pop victim. I love pop music; I love pop culture. I love Olivia Newton-John.

songs, to me, were more important than just light entertainment. They were my preceptor and guide into some altered consciousness of reality. Some different republic, some liberated republic... whatever the case, it wasn't that I was anti-popular culture or anything and I had no ambition to stir things up. I just thought of mainstream culture as lame as hell and a big trick. It was like the unbroken sea of frost that lay outside the window and you had to have awkward footgear to walk with.

I've always had an interest in the fashion side of pop culture.

I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
