Jeff Boyes "Wish You Were Here"

JEFF BOYES - ARTIST BIO

I’m a graphic designer / illustrator / dad from Vancouver BC, Canada.  As a student of lino-cut prints and screen printing, I slowly developed an illustration style that shows those influences. My prints have a lot of similar line-work to lino-cut prints but with the bright bold colors of a screen print. As the son of a screen printer, I spent my youth messing around with printing in a small screen printing studio behind my parents house. After graduating with a degree in Fine Arts, I chose the Graphic Design path, which has led me to a 20 year career designing for the bike and craft beer industries. In the past 15 years I have worked with Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles on a regular basis. They seem to fuel my love for the 80’s and 90’s pop culture and I can’t thank them enough for all these years of creating cool prints!
