Jawn Babbitt

What’s been going on in your world and circles lately?

Most importantly, raising my son Jack, he’s 9. Like most adults I work entirely too much, but love my job. I’m also staying busy with my drawing. I draw everyday no matter what. It’s cool to be able to step out into a fantasy world and record it on paper.

Anything in particular you’ve been working on?

Mostly, I’ve been working on a show I have at Studio Ink in January. Erin is awesome and has supported my art for years. Thank you Erin! I’m also working on getting some screen prints of my stuff so everyone has an opportunity to have a piece of me.

Tips, tricks, Techniques?

Best tip I have, is try to work on your art everyday. It has definitely helped me grow.

Other projects you see happening around that are cool?

I love what Oscillator and Resonator are doing for artists in the community. They have helped transform the Norman arts scene. I also dig Factory Obscura and their entities. Oklahoma has came along way in the last decade.

Future things you are looking forward to?

Personally I’m looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone and learning the art of screen printing. This is something Ive always been fascinated with.

Painting by Jason Limon

Visual artists (or whatever people) you’ve been digging lately?

Ive been really into Jason Limon’s art lately. HIs work blows my mind. He is definitely a big influence of my recent pieces.

Favorite bands / albums lately?

Hmm, Ive been listening to a lot of Lebanon Hanover, The National, and Satan’s Pilgrims lately. My music taste is all over the place. I don’t discriminate.

Anything else?

Try not to be a dick. Support your local arts!

Love , Jawn
