James Jarvis work-illustrator/toy designer
His inspirations:
Well this illustrator born in the 70’s at a young age he loved to draw and was inspired by Tintin, Popeye Jarvis was also increadibly inspired once introduced to a bunch of names: Richard Scarry, Hergé, Dr. Seuss, Rupert the Bear and Alfred Bestall, Beatrix Potter and Maurice Sendak. Even other design subjects such as the Bauhaus modern movement which help he way of thinking and his obsession with lego as a kid, as he liked to build realities but mostly with pen and paper.
His work:
Jarvis has studied illustration at University of Brighton and at the Royal College of Art in London. In doing this got job to work for a number of international clients such as Sony, Nokia and Parco, which contributed his work to a number of international style publications including Nova, The Face and Relax [magazine Japan]. Relax magazine helped further his career by putting his illustrative work in art books and in exhibitions worldwide including Parco galleries Japan.
In 1988 Jarvis became more of a freelance designer as he was asked by Silas a London based fashion design company to create figurines as promotional items. Martin was the first figure created for them and Jarvis’s work proved to be like and soon after he created more figures such as the mysterious bearded prophet and tattoo me Keith. With this success Jarvis was inspired to do more and two directors from Silas developed a toy company Amos in 2003 and created figures punk rocker and king pin which I like. On doing this it gave Jarvis a bigger audience which to me is inspiring as he is innovative not leaving himself any boundaries as he also designed skateboards for Heroine. Jarvis started as a freelance illustrator, developing figure furthered his careers to be successful, then he skateboards and most recent work from Jarvis is the work of Amos comic book Vortigern’s machine co-written by Russel waterman.
My thoughts:
I like his style of drawing and his inspiration from Tintin and Popeye as I loved watching them in my youth, even now. I admire how his career has developed over the years with the toys and the ad for amnesty international, as I would love to work for an amazing corporation opening mind of others and inspiring people to help also. It is inspiring to know that a doodle can give you great success, giving you bigger opportunities to work/design in other areas, which the audience had great appreciation for. I also likes his skateboard design as i love to skate and for his recent work well Jarvis is back doing what he loves and inspired by the Amos toy company.
