ABOUT JASON HART
-
I live on on Cape Cod in Massachusetts with my wife and two dogs (a Boston Terrier and a Pug.) I do my best to wander the beach every day looking for ideas, inspiration, calm and rocks for my rock garden. I have been working as a creative professional for many years in many industries including: Editorial Cartoonist, Product Design/Illustration, Greeting Card Design/Illustration/Writing, Apparel Illustration, and Book Design/Illustration for both adults and children.I am happiest with a pencil or a stylus in my hand and do all of my digital painting in Adobe Illustrator, so all of my work is vector.
ARTIST STATEMENT
- As a child I loved Bugs Bunny, Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, and Al Hirschfeld. Later on I was inspired by David Wiesner, Shaun Tan and William Joyce. Ultimately I found my visual voice under the influences of The Incredibles, How to Train Your Dragon and Rango.Today many kids prefer movies and video games over books. I hope my humorous digital animation inspired style will connect with reluctant readers and convert them to passionate readers, because a love of reading at a young age inspires a love of learning that lasts a life time.“Reading is the key that opens the doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams and more reading made my dreams come true.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg
