JAY REATARD

client: Exclaim! Magazine
date: 2009

Commentary

This Illustration was done for Exclaim! Magazine – a monthly music newspaper/magazine based just around the corner from my house. The AD for this piece asked me to do an illustration based on my impression of Jay Reatard – a Toronto Punk/indie rocker. Turns out that Reatard’s recorded something like fifty-three albums and he’s only twenty-three (i’m sure my numbers are slightly off but it’s done without exaggeration).
