Jon Ward is an artist, and a recent graduate of Ohio University. In this episode, he gives an overview of his life and art, which culminated last Spring in a thesis, "Head Count", that focuses on the difficulties of concussions brought on by a youth spent playing football. Jon's personal concussions gave him a lot of trouble, but they also gave him synesthesia, a psuedo-superpower where the line between vision and sound becomes very blurred for him. We talk about all this, with a sprinkling of Kanye West, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Modern Art vs. Hyperrealism and more in this beefy podcast. Be on the lookout for an upcoming Graphic Novel by Ward of the same name as his Thesis ("Head Count").
