peter wonsowski is the dude who created that spikey blonde punk kid who represented Less Than Jake in the late 90s and resides as a tattoo on many people’s bodies. He’s done artwork for Less Than Jake, The Impossibles, Pinball Records, Shower With Goats, Paul McCartney, the Bill Murray documentary, and a shit ton of others.
I tried getting him on the podcast a while back but due to COVID being a bitch, it took a while. Luckily he finally gave in and we have a solid conversation. And here’s what we talk about:
- Using his gut for his design projects
- Creating the artwork for The Bill Murray
- Becoming friends with the NJ Joystick dudes
- Designing the artwork for Less Than Jake’s latest album Silver Lining
- His design process that basically blows my mind
- Our thoughts on NFTs
- The Broadways and Tuesday
- Designing for Paul McCartney
- Breaking down his doodles on his website
- The artwork for Greased
- Supermarket Allstars
- Creating artwork for The Impossibles
- Shower with Goats CD release show
- Designing Plow United’s artwork for Three
- Easter eggs in his artwork
- And a ton more
