About
Title: Take Your Time
Artist name: Jason Sturgill
Artist Bios: Jason Sturgill is a former graphic designer turned art director and illustrator. He grew up thinking he couldn’t draw and it wasn’t until he was in his 30s that he put the proverbial pencil to paper. Jason unknowingly has always been a fan of illustration from a young age through his fascination with skateboard and album art. This love of art led him to start an online art gallery in 2001 while he was working as an interactive producer at Wieden+Kennedy. His professional career started in advertising in a non-creative capacity but after having cancer at the age of 28 he made a concerted effort to switch to design eventually working for Dark Horse Comics and Nike Skateboarding before pivoting into illustration. After working for several years as a professional illustrator Jason found out he had Bipolar 2 disorder and has integrated mental health advocacy into his personal work which he regularly shares through his Instagram account.
Are you familiar with Randoseru? Have you ever seen one before?: I am familiar with them from seeing kids walk to school in Japan, so cute!
What made you excited about this project?: I am a big fan of Japan and have long admired the craftsmanship of Japanese products. To have Tsuchiya Kaban reach out to me for collaboration was a real honor.
Please tell us what kind of image you had in mind when creating this work: A backpack, or Randoseru, reminds me of a shell that can carry both the physical and metaphorical weight of everyday life. The phrase “Take your time” is meant to lighten the load so as not to be overwhelmed by it.
