Mr. Jago & Will Barras Interview from “The Run Up”

"If I’d have never done commercial work, I’d just be drawing monkeys and robots."
-Will Barras

Mr. Jago and Will Barras met while working as telemarketers. Their love of doodling and disdain for their job was fodder for a budding friendship that provided a foundation for their art careers. Soon after they began illustrating, their fluid drawings were featured in Scrawl, Dirty Graphics and Strange Characters, a book that featured UK artists. They started getting work from the exposure they received from Scrawl, and started Scrawl Collective, an agency that has worked with Swatch, Sony Music, Nike, Puma, Burton Snow Boards, Boxfresh, Levi’s, Addict, and Virgin Mobile.
