Jeric Yuen is a digital GPS artist who uses running to create incredible pieces of art. This year he was recognised in Strava’s Year In Sport 2023 Awards with a nomination for Strava’s Artist of the Year
With over 50 detailed GPS drawings to his name, including a collection of animals, a rhino, a tiger and a giraffe to name but a few, Jeric really is a master of his craft.
In this episode, Tom joins Jeric to run his festive edition of GPS Art, on a route that Jeric says will span somewhere between 35-45km. Tom has no idea what this route will look like until the end.
This is a conversation on the road, recorded while running with Jeric, and breaks down how he is able to create these masterpieces, what he uses to plan these routes, what inspires his drawings, how anyone could start creating GPS art themselves, and why he's committed to running so many of these artworks over the past few years, as he attempts to raise as much money as he can for Spinal Research, and spread so much joy to those view his artworks online.
