Jodi Lascar – headshot – About Me

Hello! My name is Jodi.

I have always loved art and being creative. I spent a couple years bouncing around art schools when I was young. I attended Sheridan College in Oakville and Emily Carr University of Art & Design in Vancouver, studying photography, figure drawing, painting, design and art history, until I finally settled into the Graphic Design Program at George Brown College in Toronto. I furthered my web education at Toronto Image Works, where I fell in love with the space and the people. I spent the next 18 years at Toronto Image Works, eventually working as a Digital Imaging Specialist. I had the opportunity to work with so many amazing artists, photographers and curators from all over the world. I am grateful to have met and worked alongside so many inspiring artists. I have always wanted to produce my own art, but was patiently waiting to find my “style”.

My favourite type of doodle was always Echo Drawing. You just start with one squiggly abstract line, then repeat or “echo” it out until you fill the whole page. I could sit for hours doodling like this. After it’s drawn, you fill in the lines with colours.  Then one day I decided to take it to Photoshop and instead of squiggles, I would create angles with straight lines, and instead of filling the lines with a solid colour, I would fill them with images. Hence was born my new creative, Hyper Echo Art!

prefix: hyper-

over; beyond; above.

exceeding. excessively.

Similar: energetic, enthusiastic, fiery, gutsy, passionate, peppy, spunky,  active, bouncy, eager, full of life, high-spirited, zappy, zesty, zippy

noun: echo

a close parallel or repetition of an idea, feeling, style, or event.

Similar: duplicate, copy, replica, facsimile, reproduction, imitation, exact/close likeness, mirror image, twin, double, clone, parallel, lookalike, spitting image

Today, I am a very busy mom to 4 young girls. They inspire me everyday with their creativity. They love to watch me work. They are involved with all aspects of the creating, photoshopping (eh hem…. apparently “photoshopping” isn’t a verb so I enhance with Adobe Photoshop), colour approvals & final art selections. They will be great Art Directors one day!

My art is created to be exciting, fun, lively, flashy and loud.
My intent is to evoke feelings of happiness and joy. I strive to create digital art that stands out and brings positive energy and good vibes to all spaces.

Bring some excitement to your space!

Cheers!

Jodi
