Jon-Laurence

Hello and welcome to my online gallery. My name is Jon-Laurence and I am a Freelance Graphic Designer, Stage Actor, Social Worker, and Writer currently residing in central Georgia (U.S.A.) and managing a local theatre for the Performance Arts (www.theatremacon.com). I am self-taught in that I have had no formal training in any aspect of the visual arts. Simply stated, creating these works bring me peace and grant me a sense of spiritual serenity. My techniques and execution are inspired by the dark/modern age of comics; manga/manhua/manwha; corporate art; the surrealist, magical realism, and biomechanical movements, respectively; and nature herself (among other things!).

The majority of my creations consist of collages, freehand drawings, re-rendered digital renderings, and paintings that are scanned, uploaded, and then digitally manipulated utilizing a variety of software until the desired results are achieved. However, that is not to say that I do not also dabble in the more traditional art forms such as watercolour and oil painting. Most of my works find their inspiration from the realms of science-fiction, fantasy, religion, women, and the ever-growing prevalence of hyper-capitalism in Western Civilization.

I share my work with you in the hope that these pieces may entertain and enlighten.
