I am JBOY. A fairly (un)known visual artist from London and sharing my ideas helps calm my hyperactive mind. Some are good, some are bad.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey goes.
My Inspiration comes from many places and mostly turns up at the most inconvenient time. I spent a lot of time when young stealing Gary Larson books from the library (i took them back) and then later i studied (looked at pictures) Guy Billout at art school.
Obviously at some point i accidentally stumbled into the urban art scene and have been trying to escape it ever since, but it keeps dragging me back in like a henry the hoover. Basically several sources of inspiration have led me down a very eclectic mix of styles and ideas. I just go with what feels right for the picture.
Not everything even works well visually and only ideas that i am 100% happy with are shown. A lot gets trashed (Most things). I like to do visual commentaries on anything i feel strongly about and i try to get my message across in a light hearted way.
I have a big arts background as i said already, but my proudest claim to fame is being taught technical drawing by Timmy Mallett's uncle at age 9, but things have probably gotten progressively worse ever since.
Anonymity is a choice, not for any mystical reason, but because it’s a preference. Great care and pride are taken in the delivery of work, and people who are nice are looked after.
