Jasper Wong does it all. He’s an artist, illustrator, art director and curator. His work has been displayed in exhibitions all over the world with an impressive roster of clients including Hulu, NBA, Uniqlo, Versace, Microsoft, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Toyota, Marvel and more. Many people know him as the creator and lead director of World Wide Walls (formerly POW! WOW!), which is a non-profit organization of contemporary artists committed to community enrichment through the creation of art outreach programs and engaging the community in the creation and appreciation of public art.
In this episode, Jasper takes us through his art journey -- going to school in the Bay and then moving to Hong Kong only to be turned down because he wasn't the right type of "Chinese" artist. Carving his own path, how the industry is being threatened and what drives him to keep creating. We loved getting a peek into his creative brain and learning from the master himself.
