About Me

WWW.JASON-CRUZ.COM WILL BE UPDATED SOON!!!I grew up in Chicago and Southern California. After High school, I moved to Laguna Beach and later moved to Chicago and San Francisco to attend art school. I studied Fine Art at the Art Institute of Chicago, and Computer Animation at the Academy of Art S.F. After college, I moved to Long Beach and worked in the Action Sports Industry. I'm currently living in El Segundo with my wife Janel. I'm a toy designer at Jada Toys. I also currently design for Dice Magazine and Cardboard Robot. Some of the companies I've worked for include Hot Wheels, Nike, Lucky Strike, Ikea, Arnette Sunglasses, Briko Sportswear, Sanuk Sandals, and JoyRide Snowboards.I'm a total car nut and most of the art I'm doing recently is of cars and bikes. I own a 74 Dodge van that I'm slowly ...very slowly customizing to be a full blown 70's style van. I had a Tiumph chopper but sold it for the van. (Janel would never ride on the bike with me because it broke down all the time. I go to car and motorcycle shows almost every weekend.Janel and I have been together for over 4 years now and were married this Aug. in Truckee, CA. We currently are living happily ever after. href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY2 9t" target="_blank"
