Weird Love

Jacob van Loon works and lives in Chicago.

My name is Jacob, I'm 26, living in Chicago. I listen to a lot of punk, played drums since I was 18 but have never owned a kit, have a hard time saying no to Korean food, or the chance to pet a cat. I'm weirdly inspired by Midwestern America, but love to see anything new. 

All my work carries a strong Design sensibility, focusing on the synthesis of digital and traditional media to complete a visual idea. (from artist website)
