Jasper Goodall
Guest Posting 10 May – 14 May 2010
Artist and illustrator Jasper Goodall is providing the guest posts this week. Based on the UK’s south coast Jasper has consistently developed his work to create bold, symbolic and often provocative imagery. Having worked for the likes of The Face, Gucci, Nike, Adidas, and Dazed & Confused he also combines his professional practice with tutoring on the illustration course at the University of Brighton.
What have you got planned this week?
Hmm, Monday and Tuesday I’m working on some designs for a snowboard, Wednesday we have some Japanese ‘Niwaki’ style trees getting delivered, which we’ll have to plant pronto, Thursday and Friday are taken out with a research conference at the uni, weekend – old mate from Birmingham is visiting… after that it’s final degree show mania at University!
What do your parents think you do?
Ummm They are both not in this world anymore, they were both artists in their own ways so my work never confused them. I know they were very proud.
Who do you look like?
Someone said the other day I looked like Kevin Federline, so thats not bad. When I was younger I used to look like a skinny Clark Kent!
What’s your favourite sense?
Gotta be my eyes ain’t it?
Tell us something people don’t know about you…
I love pruning trees… properly.
Did your education count?
Yes I reckon it did.
What word can’t you spell?
Silouhette ahh! sillouhette hmmm… silhouette yeah!
Tell us a good fact
The best fact is this: a photon can act as a wave or a particle, kind of meaning it can be in two places at one time and it only decides which, when a conscious observer looks for it to be one or the other. Which kind of scientifically proves that on some level we create our own universe with our minds.
What’s Next?
When I have time to think of it I’ll tell you.
What’s your ‘Plan B’?
Become a tree surgeon? Win the lottery? ;-) or as a last resort – walk off into a jungle and get lost forever (and end up getting eaten by ants).
