Jason Mecier, Mosaic Portrait Artist
Jason Mecier is a San Francisco–based pop artist and mosaic portraitist celebrated for creating vivid celebrity likenesses from unexpected materials, including candy, cosmetics, pills, yarn, beans, pasta, discarded objects, and personal memorabilia. A self-taught artist, Mecier credits his grandmother with inspiring and encouraging his early creativity. He developed his distinctive style through early exhibitions and commissions for San Francisco's legendary Fillmore Auditorium. His evolving "Celebrity Junk Drawer" portraits have been exhibited widely, featured in major publications and entertainment projects, and collected in his 2018 book Pop Trash, blurring the boundaries between fine art, craft, celebrity culture, nostalgia, and everyday trash. Through Your Pillow Guy—his outrageous fictional salesman and online shop—Mecier transforms his iconic celebrity portraits into bold, affordable art for sale on pillows, bringing his unmistakable work out of the gallery and into your home.
