Justin White

Justin White, better known as Jublin is an amazing designer, his work has always impressed me, they are an odd mix between design and cartoon which is something thats hard to combien but some how Justin pulls it off, so we set about doing a little interview, enjoy.

Phil:

Hi Justin hows it going?


Justin:

it's going excellent. Right now i'm pumped up for a monstrously huge BBQ.



Phil:

So tell us a little bit about yourself.

Justin:

I'm still in school, but not for much longer. I have no idea what i'm gonna do when i graduate, but hopefully i'll be living the good life with golden sports cars and supermodel butlers. I'm studying abroad in Australia at the moment and it's really fantastic. But I'm only here for about another few weeks. bummer. :(

Phil:

So how did you get into art?

Justin:

I always liked to draw (but i think most kids probably did when they were young) I guess i just stuck with it because i was too good for sports and too handsome to model.



Phil:

What do think influences your art?

Justin:

A lot influences my art. My dumb personality obviously has the biggest influence, but there are a lot of great artists out there that i like to steal all my ideas from too.

Phil:

What is your art about?

Justin:

My art isn't about much. I wish it was, but i'm not that focused.



Phil:

What are your favourite pieces?

Justin:

I don't like to play favorites really. I want to draw something about Jurassic Park because i just watched that movie the other day and its so great!

Phil:

Recently you've been making quite a name for yourself, everyone seems to be printing you, espically threadless whats it like getting printed and what have you spent your winnings on?

Justin:

Actually almost all of the winnings has gone towards paying for my trip and staying in Australia. I'm really lucky to have found threadless and to have gotten involved when i did because I probably would have never gotten the chance to study abroad like this without that extra cash. I'm really thankful for threadless for many reasons. it's really gotten me to focus a lot more on my artwork and I've met a lot of great people in the process too. I never ever would have imagined designing shirts for people to wear on their chests and/or boobs.



Phil:

Who are your favourite artists?

Justin:

A few of the art blogs I regularly visit are by Martin Wittig, Joel trussel, John K, Tim Biskup, and many many more!

Phil:

So what are the plans for the future?

Justin:

I don't know! I plan on going to BBQ club tomorrow and that's about all ive got right now.

Phil:

Quick fire round:
