What
have you been working on since your last SP appearance?
Many diverse things...Tye dying silk scarves and tshirts with
my friend Shane Sakkeus for our new company Trust Fun. Working
on pages for V magazine and Lodown based on our comic Petit Mal.
New artwork for Muscles, Bang Gang and Bumblebeez. The newest
book for Ksubi and working with Shane and the Ksubi art dept
on the prints for their latest show and more tshirt prints than
i can count for various people including Uni-Qlo in Japan, Insight
and Something, Bassike and Modular.
Got any secrets
to getting work?
You have to know how to set up artwork properly for pre press
and know how to write code for websites not just draw pretty
pictures in your sketch book. That way there will always
be jobs for you because you have skills as well creativity.
Do you use
a lot of resources/research with in your designs?
Yeah of course i do! I am quite useless with a blank canvas
and I think it's important to have a history and meaning behind
your work to support your design decisions.
Any projects
you are hoping to sink your teeth into for the future?
The second issue of Petit Mal which should be out in September
and I would love to find the time to prepare another exhibition
of drawings.
Do you prefer
being called Jonathan or Zawada?
JZ is fine with me. street appeal.
