Blowback Magazine Cover
Jon did the cover of a 2007 issue of Blowback Magazine (website now-defunct). This is how Crown Dozen describes Blowback:
If Crown Dozen had a cool older sister, and she was British and really really good-looking, and had excellent taste in a variety of music, art and culture, and if she was a magazine, her name would be Blowback. All of our friends would want to date her, and they’d always be talking about what gorgeous and vivid colors she has, how thick and sturdy her pages and binding are and what a knockout she is graphic design-wise. They would always want to spend the night, hoping to catch a glimpse of her before she jaunts off for an interview with electrolatino love-machine Senor Coconut. They might even sneak into her room to check out her artwork–from her grainy yet beautiful photography style to her next-level street art illustrations, everybody would want to take some home. They would all pester her to see pics of her psychedelic trip to Tokyo, marvel at the focused brilliance she revealed when discussing the subject of lomography, and they would all want to know what Adam Freeland is really like in person. And she would tell them. That’s the cool thing about her. She wouldn’t be all stuck-up and pretentious about it. She’d be accessible and easy to converse with, whether you wanted to talk about video games, independent film, freaky festival fashion or obscure rock bands. She’d share interesting and thoughtful interviews with anybody who wanted to read them, and she’d do it all for free.
Strange Words for Wonderland Magazine
Jon rose to the task of “illustrating strange words” for Wonderland Magazine, issue unknown.
Celeste Magazine
Jon did a series of doodles about girls for Celeste Magazine, out of Mexico.
Celeste is dedicated to the creations, personalities and subjects that outline the contemporary culture. Submerged in the actual tide (rush) of globalization, Celeste includes articles of international relevance according to their creative competitiveness, having in this way, global contents of particular interest between the Mexican public. The content of the magazine appeals to men and women with a high socioeconomic level and a cosmopolitan culture, who search new proposals in the creative scene as an important part of their life style. The magazine distinguishes itself because contains a great scale of subjects that are developed by specialist people of different areas, but also thinking in a public with general knowledge of the scenes that conform the contents. Like this, the magazine is attractive for specialist readers as for people interested only in creative vanguard, searching accurate and pleasant sources of information.
