For a Kansas-born Midwesterner, Austin Gilmore’s resume reads more like a “What do you want to be when you grow up?” wish list than an actual CV. His job history includes time as a TV and movie producer, actor, animator, author, board game designer, toy maker, and art director—just to name a few. He helped create the Emmy-winning TV miniseries, Hatfields & McCoys, produced the New York Times bestseller, The Explorers Guild, and toured the world as a band documentarian. On top of all that, Gilmore is a wildly talented illustrator. His new show Staring Contest opens at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles on April 2, 2021, and it will also be available to view online. I had the great pleasure to talk with Gilmore about his upcoming show, his art, and whether or not Field of Dreams is overrated.
M. Brett Smith: All right, so before we discuss your work as a designer and illustrator, let’s do the obligatory interview bio summary.
Austin Gilmore: Sounds good.
Your resume is kind of insane, so I’m just going to run through some of these questions lightning-round style. You ready?
Sure.
OK, so your name is Austin Gilmore, and you are currently the Art Director at Venn49 Creative Lab, a full-service creative boutique in Kansas City?
Yeah, that’s right. I’ve been at Venn45 for about five years. It’s a really fun place to work. We focus mostly on package design and branding, but we really do a little bit of everything.
And, before that you were a creative executive at Kevin Costner’s Treehouse Films for seven years. During your tenure there you worked on a laundry list of big-name projects, including the Emmy-winning TV miniseries, Hatfields & McCoys, as well as several major motion pictures, including Man of Steel, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Draft Day, and many others.
Yes.
