Jim Rugg & Jasen Lex Collaboration
JIM RUGG and JASEN LEX collaborated, for the 2014 Half Share, to create a die cut cover comic book with sampled silhouettes from the history of the medium. Each comic comes with a unique silhouette drawing by Jim Rugg.
Come see this piece in person at CDCP’s new concept store Small Mall.
Jim Rugg’s comics, drawings and designs critique and celebrate the popular consumer culture he grew up with -- comic books, wrestling, advertising, and VHS movies. His work includes Street Angel, Afrodisiac, Rambo3.5, Notebook Drawings, and the podcast, Tell Me Something I Don't Know (with Jasen Lex).
Jasen Lex is a designer and illustrator who makes comic books. Influenced by the cartoons, comics, and video games of the late 1970s and 1980s, his illustration style is a synthesis of these media, combining the dense backgrounds and fluid lines of traditional cell animation, with the side-scrolling structure of video games and the syncopated rhythm of panel-to-panel storytelling. He also co-hosts the podcast (with Jim Rugg), Tell Me Something I Don't Know on BoingBoing.net.
