A variety of personal information that may give insight into who Jeremy Farson is and how he came to be an artist and creative
Who is this guy that claims to be an artist and creative..?
Jeremy Farson began his life in Los Angeles but spent his formative years in two California coastal towns, The well known village of La Jolla and Bolinas, a small town stuck in time just north of San Francisco. Ultimately to graduate from La Jolla High, he returned north to attend UC Santa Cruz to find a path in painting and printmaking.
Mind set on studying fine art, he thought to step it up and transfer to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in his junior year. Deciding that winters in Santa Cruz were friendlier than spending another chilly winter in a school rife with cool, pretentious artists, he transferred back to UCSC to complete his senior year and graduate with a BA in Fine Art. After two years working odd jobs and painting he applied and was accepted to grad school in Oakland, CA to received an MFA from the California College of the Arts. |

He left San Francisco to pursue an independent art career in San Diego.

Saul Bass
Bass worked for some of Hollywood's most prominent filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick, and Martin Scorsese. Among his best known title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of a skyscraper in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho. |
