JONAS LYNCH ARTIST INSTALLATION

pudge — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:59:06 +0000

This weekend we will be presenting a new artist installation by Jonas Lynch. Special thanks to the Listen Recovery crew.

Jonas Lynch was born in Wheatridge, Colorado on June 11, 1980. Shortly after, Jonas moved to Northwest Iowa where he was raised until 1998. When he was 18, Jonas moved to Long Beach California to attend school for graphic design.

It was when Jonas was 9 years old that he found his love with art. He started by recreating the logos of sports teams and other subjects that evolved around professional sports. Jonas only drew pictures of sports images for years following.

Jonas was introduced to Salvador Dali and Hieronymus Bosch at age 16, which tore him away from drawing the sports images. One year later Jonas graduated high school from LeMars Community High School. Three months later, Jonas moved to Long Beach California in 1998. He moved to California to learn graphic design at Brooks College. After graduating in May, 2000, Jonas designed apparel for many NCAA universities and all four branches of the military. This lasted for 5 years, when he decided to try something different. Within this 5 years, Jonas started to be an active artist by way of live painting. He took multiple trips to San Diego to live paint during performances by Al Howard & the K23 Orchestra. This move to face his nervous tendencies and live paint re-sparked his love of art. This phase of his art lasted maybe 4 years before he found his signature.

A MOMENT OF CLARITY

If some of you haven’t already noticed, we again are introducing a new logo to our roster. If you’re already familiar with the brand, then you know we like to tell a story with our name. When we feel a new chapter begins, we like to visually show the consumer a symbol of not change but progression. Logo branding is a major tool a lot of companies use to keep the longevity of their product, but us on the other hand want the consumer to relate more to the brand name if anything. Our logos simply compliment what we are currently doing.

Simplistic and minimal is the key approach to our design aesthetic. We want to symbolize positivity, to contribute to society, to become more and exceed everything around you. Now with the new year closely among us, you will see EK5 provoking more ideas and convince you to wander on the road less traveled.

Earlier today Pudge, Statik, and I decided to drop by the new Store13 location in Pasadena and just see how the Tepi and the Store13 staff are coming along on their new venture as well as talk about future projects.

The location may look very familiar, because it used to be a pervious powerhouse, but due to reasons unknown they’re no longer at the location. To uphold the prestige of that classic location, Store13 decided to continue in the tradition and reopen the doors this past Monday.

it’s good to see the Dez piece is still up on the ceiling.

Congratulations and Good Luck to the Tepi and the Store13 crew!

We’ve been shooting a lot lately. I mean a lot. My batteries to my cameras are always drained and my computer is full of images from our shoots, but they’re all worth it.

Meet little Ms. Sarah. We were fortunate to be able to shoot her for a couple of products.

The official launch party for Andrew Sebastian was underway at an invite only event. If you’re not familiar with these “invite only” events they go as is, gifts, rubbing elbows, and open bar.

Usually what happens is at the beginning of the night there are pleasantries like appetizers and wine. During this time you rub elbows with individuals and see how they are doing, and catch up. Sounds nice right?

It is nice… but once your friends come along it becomes a party with funny pictures and a slurred speech.

The Noise Academy (TNA) decided to drop by. Damn vagrants.

Congrats and check out more of Andrew Sebastian here.

Thank you to everyone for supporting! EKSOBITION gallery will be showing the full line this Sat. 12.12.09. be sure to check it out at the pomona art walk.
