In A Turn Of Events

Post-Internet Dystopia w/ Jeff "Weirdo" Jacobson, Seattle Artist/Muralist (Part 1)

Ryan West / Jeff "Weirdo" Jacobson Season 1 Episode 60

Jeff Weirdo Jacobson is a Seattle-based artist and muralist who has become one of the most recognized urban visionaries of our time. His work is known for being hyper-realistic.

Jeff has focused on a wide range of work, including a once-in-a-lifetime project collaboration with Russell Wilson that caught my attention in an ESPN article back in January. Jeff created a pair of custom graffiti-style cleats for Russ to represent his Why Not You Foundation, urging kids to chase their biggest goals and dreams. (Link to article below)

Jeff has developed a keen and intense focus on leaving behind a story of what life on Earth was like for future generations to ponder.

We got into a great discussion about how we as individuals, and humanity as a whole, have been effected by social media, and how he foresees, and attempts to capture in his work, a world in Post-Internet Dystopia.
