The Art of Jeremy Fish

Last Fall, a good friend of mine pointed me to artwork of Jeremy Fish, a super-talented artist and designer out of San Francisco. I hadn’t spent much time on his memorable website for quite awhile until yesterday, when I heard his name flying around Installation (Boulder’s best sneaker gallery), and decided it was time for a little update on what this awesome guy’s been up to. While Jeremy’s been “one to watch” for about five years now (with gallery openings in around the world and an intense list of collaborations), where to focus the watching has certainly evolved as Fish’s work has ventured into new areas like cartoon drawing and sneaker design. I’ve always been turned on to his illustrations and skate decks (especially the “Dead Rapper” series), but I’m freshly stoked on the room he painted in 2005 at the Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco and the possibilty of some upcoming cartoon work for Disney. So far, Jeremy’s been a great example of how to keep a career in art alive through re-directing his talent into diverse areas- I can’t wait to see what comes form this guy next.
