Jason Hipolito Illustration

Biography

Jason Hipolito's fascination with images started in a shopping cart with an odd preoccupation with supermarket packages and checkout isle magazines.  As a kid he would make working clocks out of cereal boxes and diorama's with magazine cut outs and his own drawings. This preoccupation with everyday visual images mutated from an interest in drawing from comic books, cartoons and movies; eventually to drawing from illustrations, paintings, photography and life.
     After attending Boston University for astronomy and physics, Jason went on to persue a B.F.A. in illustration, a minor in photography and art history at Marywood University. Still a young illustrator, his accomplishments are only a handful but diverse. Jason has been published in The Scranton Times Tribune; is regular contributor to The Antenna zine and including a co-exhibition at the Everhart Museum Jason has had shows at the Afa and Test Pattern art galleries.
    If there is anything that distinguishes Jason from other illustrators, it is his guileless and compulsive curiosity for most anything, anyone and the world in general.  His illustrations are informed by this love of ideas and it is evident in his attentiveness to the subject.  Illustration is the visual distillation idea.  Being a persistent student of everything; devotee to design and artistic craftsmanship, Jason is the consummate distiller.
