About
|
In 2017, my partner and I decided to give up our day jobs so that we could live anywhere and spend our days doing what we love. I went to university in 2004, which has enabled me to make ends meet through private tutoring, but my art techniques are all self-found. |
My name is Jay and I appreciate things which are… odd, surreal… a bit strange and unusual.
I read when I can, favouring short stories and weird fiction.
I was born in the south of England in 1986. Drawing and painting leaves me with an odd combination of feeling calm and excited.
Chance operations play a key role in the creation of my drawings and paintings. Pens are my favourite tools for drawing, but I occasionally paint and collage too.
The composer John Cage also brings me great creative comfort and I enjoy reading about his methods.

I saw ‘saw’ and I thought you meant that you were going to be cutting logs. How silly of me.
Hiya Jay – I love your love of the surreal and look forward to reading more of your stuff. 🙂

Ha! I’m not great with the musical saw, but I’m certainly worse at cutting logs. Thanks for your kind words 🙂

Odd. You have a post inviting submissions but no way to leave a reply on that post, much less a submission.
I’ve started a series of … doodle things if you fancy featuring them in some way. Here’s the latest: https://levishedated.wordpress.com/2016/04/29/nuts/
Is this the kind of thing you mean? 🙂
