Cole Gerst is an artist, illustrator,
designer and animator based in the Mount Washington
area of LA. He is the founder and art director of option-g
visual communication. Gerst began his career in the
music business designing cd covers and posters for such
bands as The Shins, Modest Mouse, Beck, Elliot Smith
and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
While still painting and designing, Gerst has branched
out into directing and animation. His “Yung Yeti”
cartoon will be aired on the Sundance Channel later
this year and a pilot for another network is in the
works. He also recently finished two animated spots
for Scion.
Gerst’s ever love of a good t-shirt led him to
translate his art onto t-shirts and thus started option-g
apparel.
To top it off Gerst has two monthly comics in the LA
Weekly, “The Good Life City” and “LaLa
Land”.In his spare time you can find Cole tearing
up the hills of LA on his 1978 Puch Free Spirit or hanging
with his 2 German Shepherds.
