About JB
Hey! I'm glad you found me. I'm Jonathan, and I've been at this here Advertising game professionally for over 15 years, worked in Graphic Design for about 10 years before that, and have been an artist since my hand could hold a crayon. (Speaking of which, does having my Ultimate Warrior drawing hung on the fridge count as an "award?" If so, I'm highly decorated.)
Oh and I should probably also mention that just about everyone in the world calls me "JB." So feel free to hop on that bandwagon if you like.
SPEAKING of bandwagons (yes, I do segues too,) I'm also a musician that has spent many years living in vans, touring the US and beyond. I started as a drummer when I was 10, and have picked up guitar, bass, and quite a few other instruments in the years since. I'm a videographer, photographer, illustrator, Star Wars (OT) fanboy, and diehard NY Islanders fan.
Below you'll find some more of the formals. I do hope that whoever is reading this is the next person that I'll get to create awesome, fridge-worthy work with. I'll even share my crayons.
