Originally emerging from the depths of Hull, in the North of England, London based graphic artist JAKe's work is instantly recognisable - having first come to prominence via his portraits of artists such as Massive Attack, Beastie Boys and Oasis for NME and the like. It was his iconic work for the Prodigy on the 'Fat of The Land' Lp that first brought him to the attention of an international audience. Other projects along the way have seen him work for Ugly Duckling, Steinski / Sugarhill Records, Lucasfilm ( Star Wars) and the Hip Hop Immortals events, as well as collaborating with Carhartt, Colette and Comme Des Garcons. He is the creator of the BADjUjU characters, which were released as collectable figures in 2002. His next figure, 'Enough Apes Already (Another JAKe Ape)', an image which previously appeared printed on a 2K t-shirt, made the transition to vinyl in December 2004, and was released in four sought after variants. He is also the creator of Geekboy, a series of acclaimed animated shorts which he directed for Sci-Fi Channel. http://www.jake-art.com/
