Jim Riswold
Artist
Jim Riswold – Irreverence justified. You are arguably one of the world’s greatest creative directors at the iconic and revered Wieden & Kennedy agency. In 2000 you are diagnosed with leukemia and given a year or two to live. Remarkably, a clinical drug works miracles and 11 years later you are as irreverent and provocative as ever. Riswold retired from advertising to become a full-time contemporary artist, going from “a career of selling people things they don’t need to making things that people don’t want”. jimriswold.com
