Jesus of Malibu / Family of Artists.
"I am a real believer in the power of us as people and I would in my image try to capture some of that feeling, which seems from the videos I have watched of Jesus of Malibu film that is a central theme. Fragility and Might. Adventure and Waiting. Heat and Cold. The dualities of Life and Humanity."

I'm french and graphic designer.
After studies in Applied Arts in France, I was working 6 years in an
advertising company. Today, I'm looking for a new creative energy.
I live and work in Berlin since September 2009.
In my work, I try to mix up curiosity, humor, "rudeness".
I'd like to give another face of the daily life... when it's possible !
In Jesus of Malibu, Anais and Billy filmed their own conception of life in a very free way.
That's why I collaborate today in their project with pleasure.
All my compositions are made of ideas that the film has suggested to me. It's my entire own interpretation. No rules. The opposite of the job I used to do in agencies.
I really like the aesthetic of the film, the way they made these beautiful images mixed with serious ideas and comic situations... with a lot of honesty.
Very glad to participate to this project.

"There's not too much people that see chances where problems are, that see the chance to evolve through crisis, but that's the case of Bill and Anais, who without financial or big technical support, but with hearts full of love and minds gifted with common sense they just decided to go for it...and I could totally related to them in that level, and later through the creative process in terms of ideas acting in a beautiful odd synchronicity. Just with my low quality pencils, A4 sheets of paper, the scanner at home and a very basic knowledge about the use of the software in my very old computer. Every line, every shape, form and color represents not only graphic elements features on the film, but also intends through ornamentation to display the message that Jesus of Malibu encloses. Being aware at the same time that this message would not easy to digest for many viewers, this piece is just a friendly fire starter that precedes the explosion that will occur in your mind due to Jesus of Malibu..., arsonists of the reason, revolutionaries of the mind."

I guess if I had to put a thought under the drawing about why I wanted to do it it would be this:
Billy and Anais had a vision to bring something beautiful to the world. So much so that gave up much of their material life, a thing which would be difficult for most of us but I think was easy for them. Because they not only share this vision but they clearly love each other more then themselves.
They are truly an inspiration.

My decision to make this art work for JOM revolution was quite easy, is that inspiration that comes from a raw place where you know and believe that somehow you're trying to make a change, like the JOM revolution does.
In a globalized world, where everything turns out to be tagged, individualized, homogenized, and packed in a very mundane way of thinking leaving behind the true collective human nature that makes us a tiny part but an important one of the true "whole", people that make us think different, that make us come out from that " day to day" basis, that inspire us to make a change even if it´s a small or a huge one, well then the JOM revolution might be that trigger to make your own and true change...

I had just gotten into art and painting and was looking for any opportunities available. Little did I know that I would find other people who look at the world that a lot of others do but aren't for some reason willing to talk about, much less actually TRY to do something about it. Beautiful people working toward a beautiful cause. Realization of life leads to a much more simple and gratifying one. It's ok to dream beyond what you think is possible. You may not know what the finish line looks like but don't be afraid to chase it down. Despite how lonely everyone can get and justifiably so, we are all in this together. We all want the best for ourselves and those close to us but realize that every single other person in this world is trying their part too. Open up conversation with others, don't be afraid to ask questions and always be willing to actually listen to new and other opinions even if you don't agree with them. Never lose hope in yourself and others.
