Jason Brooks is an award-winning fashion and lifestyle illustrator with a vast enthralling body of work across a range of industry sectors. From major advertising campaigns to gallery exhibitions, live events, magazine illustrations for the likes of The Face, Vogue, Elle, and the world of interiors to name but a few. Jason also illustrated glossy club flyers for cult London club Pushca and a long-running series of cd covers for Hedkandi selling in excess of 6 million albums.
Starting his artistic journey at a young age when he would draw and paint avidly, and being particularly inspired by a trip to Florence at the age of 6 by his early teens he received his first freelance commission.
It is no surprise to me that Both Jason's parents are artists and encouraged his growing obsessions with drawing and making pictures. I can't wait to explore more of that story later in the show.
Jason went on to study and achieved degrees from both St Martins College and The Royal College of Art in London and drew inspiration for his work not only from his time living in London but also traveling wildly around the world filling sketchbooks as he went from Mexico and Central America to all over Europe and beyond.
Jason is particularly noted as being among the first fashion illustrators to embrace and pioneer computer technology in his field.
The glamorous, chic, and aspirational world he presents in his work is a combination of life experience and imagination and has provided a means of communication for a wide range of luxury and lifestyle brands.
With what I like to call the digital art resonance happening before our eyes in the world of web 3.0 cryptocurrency and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTS) we are only days away from Jason's very first NFT collection THE RED COLLECTION which I personally can't wait to see be released!
