Zeptonn

As a one-man design army Zeptonn creates artwork that ranges from t-shirts, wall-decals, skateboard graphics, wallets, posters, bags, scooter decals to magazine and book design. Self taught illustrative designer Jan Willem Wennekes, known to some as Stinger, studied Artificial Intelligence (2002) and Philosophy (2006) at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Then, understandably, he decided to take up an artistic career. Zeptonn operates his world-domination scheme from the collective working space Studio Pats (www.studiopats.nl) in the lovely town of Groningen, the Netherlands. This is where he draws, sketches, thinks, eats, drinks lots of coffee and generally, has fun. Besides working on a variety of projects such as illustration, character design, toy design, identity design and editorial design, he also loves collaborating with other artists. Here are some of the things that are important in the world of Zeptonn: critters, monsters, colour, wacky stuff, simplicity, complexity, sketchbooks, street-art, skateboards, fairtrade, music, coffee, t-shirts, boardsports and philosophy.
