I was pleased to find out that two of the most creative people I’ve ever been able to know and work with are in an art show this friday at T and P Fine Art Gallery in Philadelphia. I guess it’s a big deal because these two guys were such a big part of the genius behind Paul frank Industries for about 16 years combined. Working at a place like PF for that long could burn some out – you work all day creating all kinds of special amazing-ness and at the end of the day you sign somebody else’s name on your work – but not these two. They have both moved on to bigger and better things, like this art show, and also:
- Benjamin Soto is now art directing a top secret Disney project that I cannot talk about (mostly because I don’t know what the project is).
- Parker Jacobs is now a head creative at the children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba which was created by his brother Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz.
