Each print is on 192 gsm Fine Art Paper, signed and numbered, and limited to whatever sells during this Saturday. You also have the option of having the prints framed.

For this months, slightly late double feature, I was able to get an interview with Canadian illustrator Jason Edmiston. There is also a nice gallery featuring 20 images of his work, so make sure you check that out after reading the interview.

CM: Can you tell us a bit how you got started in art, did you go to any art school for your training?

Jason: Not sure how far you want me to go back, but I actually knew I was going to be an artist for a living since I was a child. I never thought I would do anything else, and luckily it worked out. I had regular public school and high school art classes, but after that I went to the Ontario College of Art (now called OCAD because of an increased design department). It was a four year program, where the first year focused on foundations of art, and you specialized in an area over the next three years. I went into Communication and Design with a focus on illustration. Although school was a good way to get exposed to and prepared for the life of a working artist, I felt that I still needed to tighten my portfolio to get regular paying gigs. After college, I continued to teach myself through trial and error practice, and by pouring over my large library of art books.

So a little bit late on this one, but the Featured Artist for August is now ready. Continuing the past few features of an interview and gallery, Jason Edmiston was kind of enough to answer some questions, and share some art. I would like to thank last month’s double feature artist, Joe Scarano. So head on over and check out the featured artists are for his work, and of course his interview in the archives.
