PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF<\/strong>
\nMy name is Jesse Fillingham. I was born and raised in San Diego, California, I now reside in Pasadena, California. I graduated from Art Center College of Design in 2010. I enjoy drawing, comics, bound media, zines, burgers, beer, and unicorns.<\/p>\n

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?<\/strong>
\nTwo things that seem to be present in a lot of my work is an emphasis on nature\/natural phenomena and mythology\/fantasy. Rendering is also a process that I put myself through in most of my work, which I find to be extremely rewarding.<\/p>\n

PLEASE SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROCESS<\/strong>
\nIt varies quite a bit depending on the application of the image. I generally make a sketch of some sort figuring out the main components of the piece I am working on. That sketch either gets blown up and traced or I re-draw it to scale. Then a variety of media is thrown around until I am happy with the image. <\/p>\n

HOW DOES YOUR ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE YOUR ART?<\/strong>
\nI couldn’t really say, I have lived in Southern California my whole life so I guess it would be interesting to see if there was a change in my work living in a different part of the country\/world.
\nBut in terms of my work space, my roommate James Chong<\/a>, and I don’t have a living room because we turned it into our studio, which makes for a great working environment. <\/p>\n

\"Jesse

WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES?<\/strong>
\nJohn James Audubon, Kuniyoshi, C.F., Stanley Kubrick, Tadanori Yokoo, and a host of amazing artists on my favorite website: flickr.<\/p>\n

ANY LAST WORD?<\/strong>
\nCheck out Never Press<\/a>! It is a small press that two of my friends and I started. We are producing zines and comics and all kinds of eyegasm-inducing products!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
