Jane Mount and Jason Polan love to draw. Their love for drawing is infectious. Jason drew 132 Birds at the American Museum of Natural History. (He likes spending time in museums.) Jane painted *132 Birds Leaving the AMNH (response to Jason Polan), before she ever met him. (She really liked his drawing.) Now they are friends. Jane and Jason are both smart and funny and make work that’s smart and funny about this world that we live in that’s teeming with animals, people, good friends and strangers, clones (more animals!), books, films, and art. The best thing about Jane and Jason and the art that they make: it’ll make you more curious about all these things in this world that we live in.
Don’t believe me? You’ll have to **meet them yourself.
