Until this week, I only knew of Oliver Jeffers as a childrens’ book author. And I’m not using “only" as a pejorative here, his books are charming and thoughtful and generally wonderful.

But the other day, I came across this interview with him and I was totally intrigued. I had no idea he worked in any other medium but the introductory photo was so compelling that I was instantly wanted to see everything he has ever done.
“Without a Doubt Part 2”, oil on canvas, 2012 |
Apparently, he works in all kinds of media and all his work is interesting. He is a talented painter with a serious sense of humor and he also works in video, found objects, typography, and more.
"Fathom Painting No. 1”, oil and letraset on canvas, 2010 |
“Clocks on Wood" |
The Vader Project |
“Still Life with Logic and a Choice of Beverage” oil |
Seriously, if you want to lose and entire afternoon, check out his website and just try not to get sucked in. I still haven’t looked at everything but I’ve been loving everything that I have seen. Check it out for a quirky, inspiring end to your week.
Happy Weekend!
