Absurd Pleasure

This one is a simple thought about that child that lingers inside of some of us (most of us here, I'd imagine). It is something I think about quite often. I do whatever possible to cling on to that inner child since it is an brave explorer and is also where most of my ideas come from. To me, it makes life worth so much more. You sometimes see people grow up and the older they get the further that fun, little being gets stuffed away. The initial vision was a fun looking place that never gets visited and slowly erodes, yet it does it's best to remain happy and awaits the return of that kid.

A closer look at the bits:

You Will See

My images almost always seem to portray doom and gloom! I've been shoveling through my brain, tossing out some darkness and trying my hardest to stick to absorbing positive thoughts. In the process I was thinking about my fifteen year old daughter poking fun of my typical dad concerns, complaints and worries. Sometimes my only response to her is "You Will See". It's sometimes tough to keep fighting off problems and remain strong inside. Of course, we've all been through trouble. We deal with it and keep moving ahead. She's had a different life than I have and I do my best to see her happy, but just a suggestion to keep in mind: It is not that easy to keep going. Hold on to hope through it all as you go forth. Those are the words in this piece.

This painting is made up of eight panels (permanently attached). I have an exhibition opening May 4th at Philadelphia's Arch Enemy Arts. The group show title is Periodic Table of Elements. My element is Arsenic (As). You will able to find this original painting at the gallery and limited edition prints here on my website:

Feast

Without getting too depressing, the thought for this painting focuses on me growing up almost always hungry, yet when I did eat it was the most inexpensive product you could find on the shelf - usually mechanically separated meat in various shapes. I'm no vegetarian and the thought is pretty simple, but it brings up an image in my head of when I ate a baloney sandwich while watching tv and wondering what Lobsterfest was all about. Fastforward thirty-five years and I find it hard to eat something that still looks like an animal, so lobster is out of the question for me. I'm ok with a baloney sandwich.

Feast is made up of five connected panels. The original has been sold, but you can find prints available on my here: https://jason-limon-art.myshopify.com/collections/prints/products/feast-print

Rest

I've been looking back at some of my past work where I use to work with multiple panels to create a full piece. I created this piece thinking more of the word "reset", while also considering giving certain other elements a rest. Mixing typography with other objects has always been something I've enjoyed most. The next few paintings I have planned will be a good example of these thoughts.

You can find limited edition prints of "Rest" here.

Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition

I was asked by Jameson US to create artwork that best represented the neighborhood of Tobin Hill here in San Antonio, Texas. It's an area that has been growing rapidly, but at it's core it is a place of creativity with people who think outside the norms. I've always liked this area for its live music, which often influences the art I make. So I used that aspect of this neighborhood to guide the painting I made to help introduce their newest member of their Caskmates family: the IPA Edition.
