« Growing up I certainly didn’t consider picture making or story telling to be a means to an end. I didn’t even know what the word ‘illustration’ meant until I was a junior in college.
One day I told my teachers I wanted more creative freedom so I was going to be a graphic designer; they laughed at me…quite literally. In turn this made me really mad so I looked again at the list of art majors, saw illustration and in an instant said ‘fine, Ill be an illustrator”. And that was that, a classic case of the tell-me-I-can’t-do-somethings…
Things I love: The great outdoors, growing up away from the city, Norman Rockwell, Albert Dorne, humor, hard work, metaphors, people, rap music, rock and roll, cold beverages, exercise, Will Bradley, David LaChapelle, and Claude Monet… among others…and making sure everyone feels welcome here. » Bartlett jonathan.
