Live-drawing YOU at White Mischief NYE: Jason Atomic

Jason Atomic is a fine artist currently living in North London with his muse Manko and a grumpy little black cat called Howard. He’ll be drawing members of the audience live at White Mischief’s New Year’s Eve 1910 party.
Thematically his work is documentary reportage of pop and counter culture, exploring underground scenes, alternative and street fashion, live music & performance.
His energetic sketches (drawn without looking at the paper) make up an inimitable style. Loose line drawings in his always-at-hand sketchbook are worked up onto canvas, and undergo dramatic colouring in acrylics, inks and varnishes; vibrant colours, dribbles and splatters.
Work often combines images and text.
He has exhibited and performed at established institutions such as the Tokyo Metropolitain Museum of Art, Museum Quartier in Vienna and The National Portrait Gallery London, where he set an unofficial World land speed record for portraiture in summer 2008:
