Johnny Yanok
I know how sweet the cushy corporate job can be. The job where you’ve got that golden ball and chain of insurances and 401K’s tied to your ankle. You might not be happy, but you’re not too unhappy. It’s not easy jumping from that frying pan right into the fires of freelance. Unless you’re like Johnny Yanok who has more than enough talent to get clients without trying. The Ohioan now gets to spend his time making paintings and throwing great work at clients like Cartoon Network and Disney. We should all be so lucky. Fortunately for Yanok there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. His work has consistently been some of my favorite in the various group shows that he’s been involved in, and he’s got more in the pipes. Seems like he’s found himself that ever elusive American Dream. It’s in Akron. I never thought of looking there.
