Jason Yates (born 1972 in Detroit, lives and works in Los Angeles) is an American artist. His work involves handmade rock posters, latch hook rugs, novelty stickers, drawings, assemblage, collage, and performance pieces.

For the inaugural installment of the Artist Music Journal series, Jason chose to demonstrate his connection to music through a series of performance archives entitled The Light and Spaced Movement. Showcasing work from the past two years, the book archives performances with Holy Shit and Geneva Jacuzzi, documents an extremely large scale installation in an East Los Angeles home, and features work from of his ever evolving Fast Friends project.

About the Artist Music Journals Series:: Soundscreen Design is curating an ongoing, limited edition small book series, focusing on the inseparable connection between music and art. Each month, a visual artist or musician will be asked to create a 24-page book of artworks, drawing inspiration from their connection to music. The different ways in which each artist chooses to represent their connection to music is what makes this ongoing series so intriguing and diverse.

Each book will be limited to 1000 copies, printed on thick stock, offset, box-scored and saddle stitched, and come packaged in a 10" jacket. The jackets for each edition will be identical, therefore keeping the collection's overall outward design aesthetic consistent. However, there will be a distinct letterpressed sticker wrapping the opening of the jacket for each installment featuring a replication of the artist's signature, the volume, installment number, and edition.
