In My Own Words
Born in San Jose, California in 1977. Jeff moved to southern California to attend Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 2001 and graduated in 2004 with a BFA in Illustration. He stuck around LA ever since. He has been working as a freelance illustrator, designer, teacher, curator, fine artist and founder of Prigus Sport. I like idea of challenging myself with different subjects and projects. I feel I grow the most that way, it’s not always comfortable but it’s fun. The theme is there’s no theme. He has worked all over the industry with clients such as Nike, Justin Timberlake to Mike Tyson, Mountain Dew and has exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, as well as internationally. His latest exhibit opens April 2nd 2016 at RVCA Store/Gallery in Byron Bay Australia. Where he’s gearing up for his latest leg of Prigus Sport, A sport he founded back in 2012. The exhibit will focus on the American league and it’s history of the sport as well as the special premier of the Australian League which will feature six pro teams and 5 minor leagues Jeff now lives and works in Long Beach with his wonderful wife Liv, daughter Elsa, and a disobedient ex-pageant Siamese cat. www.jeffmcmillan.com www.prigussport.com
