Jason Brooks ... Genius

What enthralls the observer when one picks up the Cds of Hed Kandi DJ albums, Virgin dance albums or the Fierce Angel remix albums? Their covers.

More specifically, the models on them.

Cool. Sexy. Chic. Catty. Classy. Come-hither. Modern. High fashion. At once ethereal but fabulous. These are the type of adjectives one will likely hear from fans world-wide.

Introducing Jason Brooks.

In my opinion the new Andy Warhol of this Millenium.

Not since Warhol with his glamorously camp pop-art technicolor touch in interpreting (and redefining) fashion in pop-culture, has there been an illustrator that redefines fashion and beauty in the current.

What Warhol had carved for himself in the history books of pop-fashion since the seventies and eighties; has not seen an apt replacement.

No one with the ability to 'bend (not blend) with the times'.

Indeed, since the late nineties, Brooks, in collaboration with the famous London club Pushca, single-handedly popularised the glamorous-clubbers and models look.

Brooks' no edgy fashion designer like Tom Ford, Michael Kors or Alexander McQueen. He's not a pivotal pop photographer like Karl Lagerfeld, David Lachapelle or Gille Bensimon.

He is not a product designer TRYING to be Warhol, TRYING to redefine pop-fashion. Like Philip Stark for instance.

Jason Brooks, is like Warhol, in that he is a true blue, artist/illustrator bar none.

He doesn't do Van Gogh or Picasso or Botero. All Brooks does is drawing his interpretation of what is TODAY. Not so much from his eyes, but from everybody else's'.

All he does, is add his Midas touch. He's trade mark cool-sexy-chic. He's strokes are clean, simple, un-cluttered. Ordered. Deliberate. He depicts the Classy and High-life; not the look but the sense of it. His depictions are glamorous-always. Yet, as cold and technical his work comes across, it still leaves one 'oh I wish I was there'-turned on.

His attention to facial symmetry is stunning so is his multi-cultural and racially-impartial expressions in the name of 'a globalised-future' depiction . He thus maintains that fine balance between sexy and being in-offensive.

Looking at his work also allows one to crave and envision oneself in his exclusive fictional world of loft-parties.

It's no wonder he has inspired even high-fashion labels like Versace, Valentino, Christian LaCroix among others, to have him there at their Ateliers.

Even his methodology is unique; was one of the first illustrators to adapt to the new medium of computers. This, combined with his love of drawing, helped to pioneer the new medium and bring about a revolution in the world of illustration as well as a rebirth of what had previously been seen by some as a disappearing art form.

So there. A HUGE fan here. One since the very first time I saw his works....everywhere.

~After you've seen his work , who needs Super-Supermodels like Tyra or Gisele, now ? (LOL, Juz Joking)~
