We are based in New York now, with clients on our team like The New York Times, Apple, Adidas, The Brooklyn Museum, Colette, Lululemon, Boss, Lacoste.” “My aim has always been to use art as a way to find answers for my own problems in life. Then to convey the messages for others to relate to, and bring into their own life. I developed my minimalist, haiku style of comic stories to communicate simple messages of change, and personal growth. It’s just one form of art that I create; we usually work in the mediums of giant public sculptures around the world, paintings, museum installations, and our street art project, the #JeremyvilleCSA messages. We have about 5,000 of the CSA messages now, that I started in 2010.” I often revisit them, pause, and look at each square for a while. I get lost in each frame’s world, then I move to the next frame. I like to spend time reading them slowly, and getting lost in the feelings they create in me. I have no idea how others see them, but from the comments I get, I think it’s pretty similar to this. There’s a real, human connection to them. I love that, thank you so much. It makes it all worthwhile. I also try to keep them really sparse and neutral, so I often draw the figures as if they could be a male or female, just something universal. I leave out lots of detail in the drawing, so that others can imprint their own feelings onto it. That’s the way the songs that I love work for me: They’re simple enough so we make them our own.” “I often start my day early, with my diary, while I’m half awake, and I draw a 4-square grid on each page. One 1/4 of the grid is work projects, the other is exercise, the other is personal commitments, and the last is a square for a comic, or a sketch for a painting. So the creation is baked into my daily habits, and I feel incomplete if I have not drawn an idea down for the day. I’ll then open up my diary when I have some free time, and draw one of the comic ideas. The ideas are from half-remembered dreams, or a feeling, or something I observe in nature. I saw 2 birds in love once, on my window sill, and that became the essence for a comic I drew. It’s the little things in life that are beautiful, those small moments. Our hopes, our desires for change, for love. That’s what I draw inspiration from,” wrote Jeremy. And lastly, the artist added: “Find your own unique way of expressing those things in you, that are left unsaid, and hidden. It could be poetry, drawing, craft, anything. By finding this tool to express who we are, it reveals the truth about ourselves, sets us free, and reveals our journey forward in this life.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
