Event Details
The Art Directors Club of Tulsa is hitting the road on April 16 with a special keynote at Heirloom Rustic Ales featuring animator and toy photographer Jason Yang, a creative force behind work with iconic brands like Jurassic Park, Hasbro, and Mattel.
With over 20 years of experience across entertainment, consumer products, and digital media, Jason is the founder of Invisible Element, a studio built on clarity, purpose, and strong ideas. His passion project, Work More Or Less, began as toy photography and evolved into an ongoing exploration of storytelling and craft, fueling both his professional work and his role as a professor at the University of Tulsa.
For this special stop, Jason will bring along live diorama displays, giving a behind-the-scenes look at how his worlds come to life, followed by a Q&A session to dig even deeper into his process.
Stick around, meet fellow creatives, and make some connections, this is one you won’t want to miss. Every attendee will also receive a FREE poster, ready to be autographed by Jason himself.
