There are certain people you meet who just have a way of making you smile.
Jef Caine is one of those people.
Everything from his art, to his style, to his voice, to his overall outlook on life. It's hard not to love him.
Jef has been doodling in sketchbooks for nearly his entire life, and now he makes a living as a graphic designer, illustrator, and animator for brands, creators, and nonprofits. PS... He taught himself to animate during the pandemic by the way (casual).
When you look through his portfolio there is a certain childlike creativity that, again, just makes you smile. He's designed everything from a mustached pineapple smoking a cigarette to a giant walking nose, and doesn't show any sign of slowing down.
In the process, Jef has racked up 1.5B (that's Billion with a B) views of his GIFs on Giphy and has a TikTok following that continues to grow by the minute. We talked about a little bit of everything in this episode from how Jef markets himself as an artist, to the chaotic nature of freelance work, to a little game of Fact or Fiction about South Dakota.
Jef is an absolute GEM and I think you'll love this episode. If you want to follow along with Jef or hire him for some design work you can get in touch on his website at jefcaine.com or on Instagram @jefcaine.
Go write me a letter for the Podca$h Contest! It takes 2 seconds and I really think we can win.
