Above: Illustration goodness by Owen Freeman
Hey Owen, thanks for taking to time to chat with Gym Class Magazine. We’ve had a snoop around your website… your work’s great. How you do you describe your illustrative style?
At the moment, I would describe my illustration approach as a mash-up of everything visual I’ve enjoyed up to this point. Comics and animation I watched when I was younger, as well as film and artists I’ve only recently discovered are all huge influences, but stylistically I’m not sure I’d be able to define how exactly. I read a quote somewhere that I liked: “Style is everything you do wrong, consistently.”
What/who are your inspirations? What do you like to draw when you’re not working?
I owe comics and movies a huge debt for inspiring me to draw for the pure enjoyment of telling stories. I have an ongoing exercise to do a new drawing or painting every day, which started in 2006. It’s been really beneficial to keep up with figure and landscape studies and to keep things moving with new tools and paper, etc. so the drawing part never feels too much like work.
Where are you from and where do you live/work?
I grew up in Washington State, but lived in Los Angeles for the past several years. I am currently traveling for the year in Europe, working from London at the moment.
Where did you study? What’s your back-story?
I graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles earlier this year, prior to that I worked as a graphic designer for several years and painted on the side.
You’ve done work for New York, LA Weekly, FHM and Out magazines. Pretty impressive. Are there any magazines/clients you haven’t worked for but would like to?
I’ve, of course, always wanted to work for Rolling Stone, Wired, Esquire and so forth, but I think the greatest thing about illustration, and what I’ve been incredibly lucky to find already, is that often it is the projects you don’t anticipate that really throw you into the most interesting places artistically.
Thanks for your time, Owen. Much appreciated.
Thanks very much.
