Jeremyville grew up in Wonderland Avenue, Tamarama, a sleepy beachside suburb of Sydney, right near Bondi Beach. He played with lots of Lego as a kid, and built and customized model aeroplanes, which were his first 'custom toys', at the age of 8. His customized Darth Vader helmet was recently exhibited at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburg. Jeremyville is an artist, product designer and author. He self produced his first mass 3D inflatable toy in 1995, and wrote the first book in the world on designer toys called 'Vinyl Will Kill', in 2003. He has also written and produced his second book 'Jeremyville Sessions', and recently has recently worked on several toy projects with Kidrobot, and has a Jeremyville shoe out through Converse. He has been in group shows at Colette Paris, the Madre Museum Napoli, the 796 Arts District in Beijing, and Giant Robot in NY and SF. Converse recently released a Jeremyville Chuck Taylor high top, and Juxtapoz featured Jeremyville in a 12 page article in January 09. He now splits his time between his New York and Sydney studios. Jeremy's parents named him after the blue animated character Jeremy Hilary Boob Ph.D, (the 'Nowhere Man') in the Beatles' movie Yellow Submarine. An auspicious start to a career in art and character design. www.jeremyville.com
