Studio HelloVon
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I exhibit work and produce special releases, limited editions and on off originals which I release through my site ShopVon. I’ve exhibited in group shows in Europe and the US in venues such as Shepard Fairey’s Subliminal Projects Gallery, Colette, StolenSpace, The London Design Museum and Agnes B among many others. I’ve also had solo shows in both NY and LA.
WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?
Very similar reasons to lots of other people I imagine. For the challenge of making it work, both as successful artworks in themselves and as a career. Drawing/image making is something I’ve loved deeply since childhood. So to be able to make that my job is something I feel very fortunate for.
WHAT / WHO INFLUENCES YOU?
My main two influences are nature and popular culture — especially music. I’m constantly listening to music whilst I work.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
Right now I am working on ideas for a couple of shows which I hope to realise next year. In the long term, I guess at it’s very core to still love what I do in 10 years time and hope others remain interested in it too.
