“That's the thing about fiction — you can hear the same story at different points in your life and you bring something different to it every time you hear the story.”
Justin Rueff is an artist, designer, educator and creator. Justin paints murals and signs, he draws comics and illustrates books. Justin’s the co-creator and artist for LESS DESOLATE, a new comics haiku project he brought to life with Seattle poet laureate Shin Yu Pai, a past FrieMMd of the Pod. Justin’s created hundreds of hand-painted signs and murals for businesses across Oregon and California — on a variety of surfaces including glass, stone and vinyl. He’s the author and illustrator of a few 'zines and comics including Brother Crow, A Guide to Understanding the Never-ending Story and Heroes & Lovers. Justin’s thoughtful work mixes traditional Mexican Art, comics, and album covers - running from people nature to food - and LESS DESOLATE is a powerful work worthy of any bookshelf. You’ll enjoy this candid conversation about collaboration, inspiration, comics and poetry
