His mastery of light, composition, and creativity are what define two decades of work that has lead to a career filled with projects anyone would kill a family member to get their hands on. After attaining all of these milestones in illustration, Jason still craves to reach that next mountain top and find new heights to where his craft can take him. However, looking past his art anyone can learn from Jason's drive to succeed and the sense of humility he constantly keeps about him. With shows lined up, promotions plotted out, and a book encompassing his entire career in the works there is never a dull moment from this sought after legend in the world of art.
