Jane Mount is an artist, product strategist, designer and entrepreneur. She has exhibited work in various U.S. cities, co-founded several companies, and has been a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show. She is obsessed with learning and knows a lot about drawing, the internet, social networks, anthropology, art history, wine, human anatomy, furniture, cooking and golf. When she was little she believed that people kept learning and changing until they knew absolutely everything, and then they would die and move on to something else because they were done here. She is currently still on that mission.
Jason Polan is a freelance artist living in New York City. He has exhibited work all over the United States and Europe. He is a member of The 53rd Street Biological Society and Taco Bell Drawing Club. In August 2008, he wrapped up The Drawing Project. Polan is currently attempting to draw every person in New York.
Polan’s illustrations and projects have appeared in Metropolis Magazine, The New Yorker, and ARTnews and his books have generated wide acclaim. His book Every Piece of Art in the Museum of Modern Art is a cult favorite. Mr. Polan is from Michigan.
Jane and Jason spent December 3 – December 6, 2008, drawing with friends, strangers + special celebrity guests in Jen Bekman Gallery to benefit 826NYC.
