For this installment of custoMONDAY, we are heading up north to Toronto Canada, where 3D illustrator Jessica Fortner calls home. ToyCyte had recently started a category dedicated to clay art toys, when I got an email from Jes: “I sculpt my illustrations from polymer clay, stage them and then photograph them. I thought that you might like to check them out.” She ended the message with a smiley emoticon, so I wasn’t exactly expecting the straight jackets and eviscerations I found when I clicked over to her website. She was right though: I liked checking them out. Her imagery, staging and titles can’t be described as simply gorey, they’re more Edward Gorey–each vignette its own tragicomedy. Not one to be typecast, Jessica dabbles in varying levels of creepy, cute and unique spins on anthropomorphic beings. Last month, one of her illustrations appeared in The New York Times. Jessica’s work was recently featured in the Spraygraphic Mini Mini show and in Fefè Magazine. You can follow her blog, check out her pics on Flickr and purchase illustrations here. Her latest clay creations are the Furry Friends, which she made exclusively for custoMONDAY. Want to win a 12-inch tall original Furry Friend in handmade packaging with its own stand and print? Then you’ll need to enter…
Name that furry friend. Jessica has a series of Five Furry Friends that need names. “I was going to go for something Paul Auster-ish or Reservoir Dogs…you know Mr. White, Mr. Yellow… et cetera. But lets hear some of your ideas,” she writes. So drop 5 names into the comments below and tell us why you chose the names you did. Please post your names by March 29th at midnight PST. We will declare the winner on March 3oth, shortly before the next custoMONDAY. The contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world. If you have already won a custoMONDAY in 2009, please feel free to share your creativity, but you are, regrettably, not eligible for the prize.
Give us a little background on yourself and how you got into doing what you do?
I am 26 years old, and I live in downtown Toronto with my boyfriend (illustrator Michael Wandelmaier) and our many plants. I am a 3D illustrator. I create my illustrations by sculpting characters and sets out of polymer clay and other materials. After staging them, they are photographed for the final illustration. I graduated from The Ontario College of Art and Design a couple of years ago and have been working on my sculptures and illustrations since then.
Besides sculpting, I really love designer toys, book arts and printmaking. I one day hope to expand my skills into animation and would like to make a short stop-motion animation film. I would even like to write and illustrate some kids books and design some artist toys.
Sculpting is something that is rather new to me. Quite frankly, I didn’t really start sculpting until I had already graduated from university. When I attended OCAD, I was in printmaking. Clay seemed like the natural medium to which I found myself gravitating towards, and I’m still learning new materials and processes today. Unfortunately I am not set up in a studio, all the work that I produce is created in my small downtown apartment. My space doesn’t really allow for too much experimentation (material-wise), so for now clay works for me. I think that it is a suitable material for the illustrations that I create; it’s fast and easy to sculpt with, and affordable. I recently had to do an illustration for the New York Times with only a one-day turnaround. For situations like that it’s handy to work with a material that doesn’t require a long drying time. To me designer toys represent an open creative medium. Look at David Choe’s recent designer toy for example. I think that there’s something special about owning a piece of work created directly be the artist.
Tell us about your process from conceptualization to production to photograph…
A lot of the time, the illustrations that I make are based on impulses. A funny phrase or strange but humorous idea will be what grabs my attention at first. I guess I have a pretty corny sense of humor so anything like that will appeal to me. I usually start off with a couple of words, ideas, concepts that I really feel are important to the image I’m planning. Then I quickly do a character sketch. All my work is very character-based, so it’s important that I can visualize the expression and the nuances that may be captured on the face. I feel that this is the most important part of my process. Without a realistic portrayal of human expression, none of my illustrations would work out. I also find it important to have some humor in my illustrations. I think that most of the time my work can be a little “creepy” and being able to break it up with a corny pun or obvious joke gives it that little something extra. [It may be] simply just the title of the piece, for example the illustration called Mr. Scroode. [Ed note: a triptych of Mr. Scroode Goes For a Walk, Mr. Scroode Spots Something and Mr. Scroode Meets His Demise.] Then I figure out what the best composition or angle would be to really capture that emotion. There is a lot of planning, however, once the photographing starts most of it goes out the door. Once I’ve decided the basics of those things then the sculpting, sewing, gluing, painting and playing god starts. I use PhotoShop to enhance the image, or add some effect that I can’t achieve through traditional methods. For me it’s important to do the things that I want. I try not to let too many artists that I admire influence my work. The work must reflect my own aesthetic.
Your work often evokes feelings of loneliness and fear. Some of the final vignettes feel claustrophobic in nature. Do you have particular themes you seek to get across in your art?
I like images that really get under your skin, and not in an offensive way but rather a subtle unexpected way. My work is very narrative based, so my characters are usually telling some sort of story. I’ve been working on an impostor series (which is ongoing, and includes: Morgan the Penguin Imposter, A Lonely Wolf, If Wishes were Fishes and The Harvest) that I guess expresses my interest with identity and the human brain. What defines our reality and how easily that can be broken, and what that leaves us believing or becoming. However, I don’t intentionally try to inject these themes into my work. It’s just something that comes out in the end unexpectedly.
Just what is it with artists we admire and squids?
Squids are such awesome creatures… actually anything with tentacles is pretty cool. They’re powerful and mysterious and they come from a place that we don’t know much about, so instantly your imagination begins to run wild. It’s the elusive nature of the giant squid that has firmly established its place in the human imagination. Representations of the giant squid are known from early legends of the Kraken through books such as Moby-Dick. The image of a giant squid locked in battle with a sperm whale is a common one. It’s these epic leviathan tales that keep so many artists wanting to create this powerful beast. At least that’s what I think.
Tell us about your creation for custoMONDAY.
The toy that I created for custoMONDAY is called “Furry Friend”. When I was first asked to participate in ToyCyte’s custoMONDAY, I wanted to create something that could work as an illustration as well as a stand-alone sculpture. I guess the idea actually came to me while I was messing around with my gloomy bear claw (you know attacking random people, growling like a bear. Anyway, I thought it would be funny to do sort of a “ Chucky” kind of doll. Something that looks friendly and innocent and that normally you would want to play with, but that actually has some psychotic tendencies, but with a yeti-ish appearance. Hence, Furry Friends; I actually have made a whole series of them, which will be available for sale soon. It’s creepy having them all sitting around my apartment, this bloody army of doom. Yikes!
Do you collect toys and/or who are some artists you enjoy?
I don’t have a lot of space in my apartment for any more toys. My own sculptures seem to be taking over. The toys that I do have are of the blind-box variety, not that I wouldn’t love to collect every toy I come across because I most definitely would. However there are many artists that I admire: Tara McPherson, Elizabeth McGrath, Chris Ryniak, Mars-1 and Kathie Olivas to name a few. The list could on forever; there are so many talented artist/designers out there. One of the things that I admire about designer toys is their accessibility and affordability. They reach across many different cultures and anyone can enjoy them. For me illustration is very similar, it’s something that you can find in magazines and buy affordable prints for.
What’s coming up next for Jessica Fortner?
Hopefully, many things. Right now I’m in the early stages of putting together a kids book. I’m constantly working on new illustrations. Recently I had the idea to create a “bum drum” which is definitely work in progress.
Look out for more Furry Friends and updates on Jes Fortner on ToyCyte! Now go name the Five Furry Friends below…

Abdominalbe Poison-berry Blast (or Boisonberry)(purple bear guy)
Notice the word is ABDOMINABLE (stomache) and with the bears belly blasting open and the colors of the bears mimmicking fruity drinks! You could call the line “The wise Guys” cause they look like wise old men!

Strawberry (or Apricot…couldn’t be sure of color)
Blueberry

I thought about how some people bite into a filled chocolate to see what the filling is….and how these stuffed bears have a surprising filling…guts instead of polyfil. So the names are based on the kinds of chocolates that you might find..instead of chocolate truffles…it could be truffle bears.

They are the Eviscerate Brothers, quintuplets. They do have first names but since everyone always gets them mixed up they just go by the collective name of

March 19th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Oh, and the names would be (left to right)
1.Father Time. He seems to be the eldest of the group and has the appearance of a “wise old man”.
2.Brutus the Worried. His face makes him appear extremely worried.
3.Gogol. His face reminds me of Gogol Bordello.
4.Colonel Mustard. Character from clue and the yellow goes with the name.
5.Mr. Grey. It’s the color of his bear and is sort of the whole “Mr. White, Mr. Yellow, ect.” theme.
March 20th, 2009 at 2:37 am
I think they should all be named WILDERBEARD.(Correctly pronounced like the animal WILDERBEAST.)
Who’s Who??? Fear not my furry friends
Wilderbeard I
Wilderbeard II
Wilderbeard III
Wilderbeard IV

They should be named in the order in which they were beautifully sculpted and born, into this model of a planet we call EARTH???

They should all be named Nigel. They look aristocratic, yet incredibly inbred and insane. They are brothers, but they often confuse themselves for being another because each looks so similar. All the brothers were given a bear, and since each has obvious mental challenges they ripped them apart, but they keep them for the lovely red color inside.
The Nigel with the pink bear is known within the family as Nigel Da PussPuss….
The Nigel with the blue bear is known as Nigel Da Ball…
The Nigel with the yellow bear is known as Nigel Da Shower…
The Nigel with the black bear is known as Nigel Da Hole…
The Nigel with the grey bear is known as Nigel Da Poupon…
I didnt say they were a classy bunch, the family has a narrow view of colors, but there is love there.

This is of infant size(reborn) doll. However, it is VERY evident of a burn victim, Not pleasant, not meant to be, IS NOT! I ammassed so many different reactions from different folks. My Granddaugter insisted I stash her away. Along with my life size clay bust sculpture, I have been working on. She is 19 years old, and still can’t face them!
