Jon Izen

How old are you? Too old!

First Car? 1962 hand painted Ford Falcon. The horn honked when you turned on the radio.  I bought it for $550. A sweet ride!

Favorite thing about Canada?  Jam busters

If you could be any animal for a day, what would it be? I would probably be a wiener dog. They reflect my life. No matter how fast I feel I am going, it always takes me forever to get there. HAHA

If you could die and go back in time to meet one person, who would it be? Nipsey  Russel for sure!



Favorite watering hole? Left side of my Sofa.  Now that I have a little guy, I’m not getting out that much…

Favorite restaurant? The memory of Stepho’s in Vancouver.



Drive, bike or walk? 2 bikes with flats…walk

Cat, dog or goldfish? Dog…but I have a cat named Princess Pickles

T or A? I prefer ‘both and’ as opposed to ‘either or’ Why not enjoy all life has to offer?

 Morning or night? NIGHT until morning!

Recommend a good movie that’s way below the radar. The Bodyguard. So low off the radar it crashed and I had to buy a new radar.

Recommend a good band that’s way below the radar. I looked way below my radar and all I found was a cheese sandwich

Most inspiring artist? Yoshitomo Nara.

What’s your favorite art medium? (painting, graphic design or otherwise?) I’m a spontaneous doodler. I love using what ever is in front of me. It’s more about the act of creation than the specifics of what I have at my disposal.  I’ll sculpt, draw, paint, animate…whatever feels great at the time

Where did you grow up? The ‘Peg – Winnipeg Manitoba

Where do you live now? The Suds - Sudbury Ontario. If you stand on a lawn chain in my back yard you can see the big nickel. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing!?

What was your favorite thing to do when you were 5? I think it was eat cake, and hide from my two older brothers!
