Drawing since a youngster, Jay's self-taught style depicts his profound love of skateboarding, the midwest and cereal. Choosing to go with his own flow, albeit passionately involved in his art, Jay passed on an art school education to follow his dreams of smooth pavement, riding walls and empty pools. His dedication to the skateboarding industry has brought his eccentric figures to the masses via deck graphics, magazine illustrations, t-shirts and stickers.
Creating an acrylic "family on wood", Jay paints characters influenced by everyday events, family and friends. In a carefree fashion, Jay's work mimics his enthusiasm and love of life, made organically and instinctively. His portraits display uncomplicated and playful creatures, meant to inspire and influence those that behold them.
