San Francisco based artist Jay Howell has done a lot of cool shit. I have been a fan of his artwork for a while, but never knew about anything else outside of his drawings. When I started to do some research, I found out this guy likes boobs, pizza, beer and he lived in Sacramento for a while (awesome!).
In all seriousness, he’s an eclectic guy. He has a web only animated variety show called Forest City Rockers Motorcycle Club which has featured music and live clips from Mayyors, Thee Oh Sees, and Crash Normal (some of my favorite bands!). He’s done several zines, which include Punks Git Cut and Sanji & Craig. Jay runs an art and recording project with Mark Kaiser called Mt. St. Mtn. that specializes in limited vinyl runs of exclusive material from the artists, and all packaging and artwork is done by them. He also works with a clothing company called Lifetime Collective.
Jay has been working on character development for an animated series called Bob’s Burgers by Loren Bouchard (Dr. Katz, Adult Swim’s Home Movies). It has been picked up by Fox for 13 episodes and will air during Sunday’s “Animation Domination” lineup. Another exciting project to add to his list of achievements!
Mr. Howell is one busy dude, and it’s great. The more he contributes to the art and music scene, the happier we all will be. If you can, you should check out his exhibit Alligator Fuck House at the A440 Gallery in San Francisco. He’s also featured in the June 2010 issue of Juxtapoz magazine.
