Episode 210 - Jeff Denomme - Designer and Founder of Haunted Zoo - Windsor ON.

Today's guest is Jeff Denomme. He is a designer, illustrator, and founder of Haunted Zoo out of Windsor ON. A good ol' Canadian boy. 

During this episode we talk about:

-growing up in a blue-collar family. 

-how his first plan was just to skateboard and get a job at Chrysler. 

-his decision to go to school to pursue his HVAC ticket, what happened three days in, and what his parents thought. 

-becoming an artist before doing any art. 

-a bunch of incredible designers and artists who have inspired him. @theartistshag @heypaulfrank @tristaneaton @andyhowell43 @denialart

-the challenge with keeping your pricing and winning work early in your career.

-the Vans warped tour opportunity that almost didn't happen and what it meant for his career.

-the COVID-19 front line worker support project he is doing now and why he is so proud of it. 

Jeff and I actually had nearly a 15minute conversation before the interview got started just talking about his time in Vancouver and his move back to his hometown of Windsor ON. I know you will like this one! @thehauntedzoo
