He’s been in France so long that he refers to the speed of objects in kilometers. Anyway, this video is a nice insight into JonOne’s work.
Graffiti artist and painter John Andrew Perello, aka JonOne, grew up in New York and as a teenager was involved in the explosive graffiti scene of the 80s, spraying walls and ‘bombing’ trains. He moved to Paris in 1987, linking into the thriving arts and graffiti scene, and has remained there ever since. We caught up with him in Paris – the resulting documentary is a wonderful insight into a very charismatic person and the ever-changing struggle he encounters as an artist. Co-directed and produced with Oliver and Charlie Clark under our SoWhat collective.

Remind Insoles (really cool insoles) interviews renowned artist Jim Phillips in a 4 part series
“I hadn’t seen a lot of the paintings for so many years, and it’s exciting to see them in concert with the others. The idea of “Mental States” is that it’s not just the character in the paintings, it’s also going to be about the people who come to see the paintings and what it does to their mental state, to see all these different reflections of humanity, from all walks of life, happening at the same time on the wall.”
Marina Cashdan does a fantastic interview with George Condo for the Huffington Post. Condo’s Mental States opens at the New Museum today.

Dave Schubert opens a new show at the Shooting Gallery in San Francisco this Saturday. We sat down for a few questions.
Every morning Bill Plympton wakes up at six, goes to his drawing board, gets a piece of bond and a No. 2 pencil and sits down to the business of animating the indelible, noirish figures that have garnered cult status as Plymptoons. What began in high school with drawings of bugs and plants for the Portland Yellow Pages has grown into an empire that encompasses political cartoons, animated shorts, features, advertisements, music videos (his first for Madonna; his latest for Kanye), and a forthcoming Rizzoli book (Independently Animated: Bill Plympton) with a Terry Gilliam forward. Along the way he’s filled his shelves full of awards, not to mention earned two Oscar nods. On the eve of the release of his latest feature, Idiots & Angels, we caught up with the industrious illustrator at his Chelsea studio to talk about the new feature, working with Kanye (vs. Weird Al), and what’s really going down on the animator groupie circuit.
