Hold That Punch is the creative brainchild of Jess Taylor, an artist and illustrator living in Portland, OR.
Taylor’s illustrations are colorful dopamine hits of pop art. Sassy, feminine, funky and fun, they play in the world of pop culture and maximalism. In her portfolio you’ll find everything from disco balls to jewelry heaps and street art sharpie style illustrations.
Jess is the illustrator of the Tarot for Wealth deck, which she co-created with futurist astrologer Jenn Hirsch of Soulful Wealth. The deck features Taylor’s intuitive and contemporary illustrations that bridge the magical with the everyday of our lives and careers.
For decades, Jess Taylor has been creating mixed media collages that explore the themes of consumerism, advertising, and the perception of value in American culture. Her works are vibrant, organic, and incorporate found imagery from various sources, including advertisements and auction catalogs. Taylor's large-scale collages are particularly noteworthy for their colorful, bold, and intricate compositions, which feature mass quantities of similar items arranged in intertwining layers.
Currently based in Portland, Oregon, Taylor continues to create bold, colorful works that explore the intersections of consumer culture, advertising, and American pop culture.
