Jack is one busy, bearded guy. We met up in NYC this summer where he was hard at work promoting the competitive beard-growing reality show, Whisker Wars. Then he was off to Pennsylvania to host the National Beard and Moustache Championship. All the while being featured in a Jeremy Fish art piece and in a beauty of a short film, Passion. See them both below.

San Francisco‘s very own Jeremy Fish recently contributed to the ABSOLUT BLANK series. Other artists include Sam Flores, Morning Breath, Thomas Doyle, and more. See them all here.

Opening June 21 at Joshua Liner Gallery, each piece will be accompanied by headphones playing their respective stories, straight from the storyteller’s mouths—Snoop Dogg, Mike Giant, Lance Mountain, Mars-1, the Dandy Warhols‘ Courtney Taylor, and more.
