Jonathan Zawada (1) Selected Works

Above sits a wonderful cross-section of art, illustration and design, not the work of an agency, collective or duo but in fact products of just one individual, Sydney based artist and designer Johnathan Zawada.

Top & 2nd top: ‘Notes n Tokes’ and ‘Populations’. An exhibition of large-scale drawings and oil paintings at Prism Gallery, Los Angeles from December 16, 2010 – February 28, 2011. The landscape topographies were derived from graph data (displayed as printed mirrors on accompanying plinths), modelled in 3D and then oil paintings created from those 3D renders.

3rd top: From Johnathan’s commercial portfolio a cover illustration on the theme of ‘purple’ for Japanese creative magazine Brain.

4th top ‘Vallery 2011’ a photograph of part of Jonathan’s ‘Free Dumb’ exhibition, I think the twisted jet is an F16 Falcon by the way.

5th top: A poster design to celebrate the premiere of Jean-Baptiste de Laubier’s film ‘It Was On Earth That I Knew Joy’, a 35 minute science fiction film. Watch it on Vimeo http://vimeo.com/9183277

6th top: An optical illusion rendered in a retro-tech fashion. Another inspired design, this time for the French clothing label Six Pack.

Bottom: Signing off with this cheeky Disney adaption ‘Gunboat Willy’ an Identity design for a men’s shoe label. Love it!
