Jordan Wolczak is a Midwestern photographer and illustrator with scant experience but a prolific bent, turning out works at a pace belying his young age. He recently earned a nod in Village Voice Media property City Pages’ Best of 2009 issue, for a graffiti piece less street and more modern notion. Also, he’s not a graffiti artist, and doesn’t claim as such.

With a stark photographic style often lovingly marred by a ‘light painter’ in the frame, the pictures have a nitty-grit austerity that’s urban and pastoral in equal turns…they immediately arrest, subsequently soothe. His illustrations are equally interesting and diametrically childish, simple scamps and space parties and smirks. A young one to keep an eye on.
