049 - True Grit (with Andrew Fairclough) - a podcast by The Jacky Winter Group

Helping us bring some outside perspective today is our special guest and Jacky Winter artist Andrew Fairclough.

Andrew is an Australian illustrator, designer and typographer based in LA.

After a misspent youth completing a Business Degree, Andrew moved on to designing skate and snowboard graphics in between bouts of self-instruction and full time work in a design agency in his hometown of Sydney.

Andrew’s work is inspired by mid-century spot illustrations and design as well as vintage sci-fi, comics, surrealism, DIY art culture, and the textural wonders of degraded print.

For many other designers and Illustrators, Andrew might be more well-known as the founder and creative behind the True Grit Texture Supply co - The business he established in 2015 out of his love for all things texture and is now a thriving business in it’s own right.

Remember! We are now an ENHANCED podcast. That's right - If you listen to our podcast in Overcast or Pocket Casts, or Castro, you can get super special images, links, and chapter breaks in your player while you listen.
