APRIL 2025 FEATURES

Chicago artist Jason White uses pen, ink and oil to create eye candy, portraits and scenes of otherworldly creatures often interacting with morphed, peculiar people in curious fantasy environments. His illustrations and paintings are seemingly riddled with a deep sense of humor and child-like play, but dig a little deeper and it’s clear that his work is multilayered.

An almost personal journal turned fever dream world, his art often invokes our own nostalgic memories or even cuts straight to the heart of experiences that we too might have undergone or are currently going through. Whenever Jason shares a piece, it’s like a little dose of we’re-in-this-together medicine and a reminder that life maybe isn’t meant to be all figured out. And with that, we might as well have a little fun along the way. 

I had the honor of interviewing Jason for the debut of Draw Your Answers.

The ship had capsized a night before. Mayday calls weren’t answered, at least not on time. Perhaps because the captain who called didn’t give adequate details before drowning. People died. The ship was gone without a trace.
