we got the chance to ask jessie some questions. here are her answers.
Q: which artist inspires you most?
A: keith haring. he is a subway artist of the 1980s, and when you see video of him working on murals he is absolutely fearless. i try to channel his line quality and fearlessness when i work. i think to myself "what would keith haring do?"
Q: if you could be reincarnated as any animal, which one would you be and why?
A: after i dropped out of art school and ran away to paris (not joking), i stopped for a rare sunny moment and sat on a bench and closed my eyes (in happiness) and an elderly gentleman came up to me and said that i looked like "un petit animal sauvage dans la soleil" -- or something like that, meaning -- i think -- that i looked like a small savage animal in the sunshine. well, that has really stuck with me, so i think i'd be a squirrel, moving fast and hoarding treats.
you can purchase jessie's stuff online through her website, but she also has a store "cake spy shop" located at 415 E Pine Street in seattle, full of endless, delightful things.
