We are excited to share our distinguished group of judges for this year’s Illustration West 59! This week meet Jason Seiler. Jason is a Chicago based artist who studied fine art and illustration at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. His illustrations and paintings have been featured as covers and interior pieces for magazines, books, posters, movies, stamps, album covers and more for clients such as THE NEW YORKER, ROLLING STONE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, BILLBOARD, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, USPS, and many others.

In 2013, he painted Pope Frances for the cover of TIME MAGAZINE’s Person of the Year cover. In 2016, he was the invited guest of honor in the 113th Salon d’Automne in Paris.
