Jason Sturgill

I'm a former graphic designer turned art director and illustrator. I grew up thinking he couldn’t draw and it wasn’t until I was in my 30s that he put the proverbial pencil to paper. Unknowingly I have always been a fan of illustration from a young age through my fascination with skateboard and album art. This love of art led me to start an online art gallery in 2001 while working as an interactive producer at Wieden+Kennedy. My professional career started in advertising in a non creative capacity but after having cancer at the age of 28 I made a concerted effort to switch to design eventually working for Dark Horse Comics and Nike Skateboarding before pivoting into illustration. After working for several years as a professional illustrator I found out I have Bipolar 2 disorder and has integrated mental health advocacy in my personal work that I regularly share through my instagram.
