Born in Portland, Oregon, Jesse LeDoux worked for many years as an art director for Seattle-based Sub Pop Records where he created iconic album and poster artwork for such artists as the Shins ('Best album packaging' Grammy nominee for Chutes Too Narrow), Iron and Wine, and Death Cab for Cutie before leaving in 2004 to focus on his client-based and personal work at LeDouxville.
Parallel to working on commercial illustration and collaborative projects for such clients as Nike, Kidrobot, Giro, Penguin UK, Rome Snowboards, and Target, he has exhibited internationally. Most recently, his work was included in the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial (2007) and an installation at the University of Maryland (2008).
A large-scale mural of his work can currently be seen in downtown Denver, Colorado. After spending 4 years living in Providence, Rhode Island and Tokyo, Japan, he currently lives and works in Seattle, Washington once again.
