Interview with: Matt Brue
Jon’s determination, diligence, and talent are undeniable—just look at his prolific body of work. As a born and raised New Yorker, he comes from a long line of artists and credits his family for encouraging him to explore his creative side beginning at a young age. Although it seems that Jon was destined to work in a creative industry, he admits it wasn’t always an easy path to pursue, but he persisted on.
We think you’ll find a resonating hope in Jon’s story—a hope which comes from knowing that we all struggle to find our voice at times, but it is there within us, waiting to be found as long as we’re willing to keep digging.We think you’ll find a resonating hope in Jon’s story—a hope which comes from knowing that we all struggle to find our voice at times, but it is there within us, waiting to be found as long as we’re willing to keep digging.To have the chance to impact such a deserving community, and charity, was something I’ll never forget. So glad I was able to be there to tell they’re story in the way it deserved to be told.
I come from a long line of artists. When I was little, I specifically loved drawing letters and logos—I don’t know why, but I was always attracted to that. My mother and grandmother are both artists; my father is a carpenter; and my grandfather carves sculptures. There’s a lot of that kind of creativity in my family, so I
was into art, so she pushed and taught me. She would go to the deli and get rolls of butcher paper and I’d draw on it like crazy. I learned calligraphy, cross-hatching, and other techniques from her. The rest I learned from copying my favorite cartoon characters, movie posters, and sports team logos.

I focused on drawing for a long time until I got closer to my teens. Then I forgot about it for a while. I played sports and went through a few awkward, angst-filled teenage years when I started playing in hardcore bands. Once I was in a band, we needed tee shirts, demos, and flyers. I found myself saying, “I know how to draw,” and that’s when I got back into art. Our band began to play more and more and our friends’ bands who got picked up by indie labels or started playing with bigger bands needed artwork. I somehow weaseled my way into doing artwork for a lot of them and that made me want to become a package designer.
After high school, I went to a local college—not an art school. I made friends with all the teachers and they let me do my freelance work during class, so I basically got paid to go to school (laughing). There were a lot of things I still had to learn though—the business aspect, printing techniques, and other stuff—but that just comes with experience.

Then, a few years ago, my business partner and I decided to start a clothing company just to see what would happen. We piggy-backed materials off of another order we were working on and quickly put up an online store and sold some stuff. People got really interested in it and that led me to a realization—I could do the things I wanted to do and there was a market out there somewhere for it. Starting a clothing company allowed me to art direct products and as that gained steam, I was able to pick back. Then, a few years ago, my business partner and I decided to start a clothing company.
