Jeremyville shared insights into his artistic background reflecting on how his journey began. I grew up at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, completed an Architecture degree from Sydney University, and while still at Uni, I drew editorial cartoons for the Sydney Morning Herald, one of Australia’s great newspapers. That started my lifelong love of drawing comics. His creative path eventually led him to New York, where he teamed up with his partner and inspiration Megan Mair to establish Studio Jeremyville. Now based in New York, his work has reached global audiences, collaborating with major brands and institutions such as The New York Times, Apple, Adidas, The Brooklyn Museum, Colette, Lululemon, Boss, and Lacoste.

Jeremyville shared what first drew him to the world of cartooning and artistry revealing a deeply personal motivation behind his work. My aim has always been to use art as a way to find answers to my problems in life. Then to convey the messages for others to relate to, and bring into their own life. His signature minimalist haiku-like storytelling style allows him to communicate messages of change and personal growth in a simple yet impactful way. But comics are just one part of his artistic expression. We usually work in the mediums of giant public sculptures around the world, paintings, museum installations, and our street art project, the #JeremyvilleCSA messages he explained. Since launching in 2010, the Community Service Announcements (CSA) project has grown to include around 5,000 uplifting messages further proof that Jeremyville’s work continues to inspire and connect people across the globe.

Jeremyville takes a unique approach to his comics treating them more like poetry or songs rather than traditional cartoons. I approach the comic stories more like a song or a poem rather than a throwaway gag cartoon. I don’t call them cartoons I think they’re something else. Like a short story or a scene from a movie. A vignette of a feeling. His creative process is deeply immersive. I often revisit them, pause, and look at each square for a while. I get lost in each frame’s world, then I move to the next frame. I like to spend time reading them slowly, getting lost in the feelings they create in me. I have no idea how others see them, but from the comments I get, I think it’s pretty similar to this. There’s a real, human connection to them. I love that it makes it all worthwhile.
Simplicity is key to his storytelling. He intentionally keeps his characters and details minimal allowing readers to project their own emotions onto the work. I try to keep them sparse and neutral, so I often draw the figures as if they could be male or female just something universal. I leave out lots of detail so that others can imprint their feelings onto it. That’s the way the songs that I love work for me: They’re simple enough so we make them our own. This thoughtful approach is what makes Jeremyville’s comics so powerful resonating with readers on a deeply personal level.
