Jake Early Designs Chico Experience Week Series

Jake Early 2nd TCEW Print Jake Early's (BA, Information and Communication Studies, 1994) design work and printmaking have earned him much notoriety. A California native, Early produces unique serigraphs on the printing press he designed and built in his Chico studio. His simple illustrative style, bold color palette, and strong depiction of place all resonate with collectors. Early's trademark is his use of metallic inks, created by mixing powdered metals into a clear ink base. These inks capture and reflect natural light, shifting the mood of each print as lighting conditions change. Early is designing a series of five prints to celebrate The Chico Experience. In collaboration with Chico Paper Company he will donate a portion of the prints' sales to the Chico State Alumni Association. The third print will be unveiled at a dessert reception, featuring the music of Tobin Roye on classical guitar during the 3rd Annual Chico Experience Week at Chico Paper Company on October 5, from 5–7:00 p.m. Early will be in attendance to answer questions and meet fellow alumni and fans. (First and second prints pictured above) Chico Paper Company is owned by alums Greg Strong (BA, Asian Studies, History, 1991) and Jana Donoho-Strong (BFA, Fine Arts, 1992). To RSVP for the reception, please call the alumni office at 530-898-6472. To avoid the possibility of the third print selling out before the unveiling you can purchase your signed/numbered print now. There are still unframed individual pieces of the "I" available, as well as other prints in the series. Click here or call 530-891-0900 to reserve yours today.

Early's work includes the popular Chico Landmark series, Chico Street series, Bidwell Park Centennial series, Chico Seasons, Bidwell Presbyterian, the Santa Barbara series, and his work with Neil Young and "My Morning Jacket" on their 2008 concert imagery, Chico Sideways series, National Parks Service "Whiskey town" and his latest: California Highway 1 series.

In addition to his degree from CSU, Chico, Early also studied at the School of Fine Arts in Seville, Spain.
