Meet Jon,

Always a dreamer, not knowing what he wanted to do when adulthood beckoned, he joined the Air Force, where he became a firefighter. Being a part of such a literal, dramatic career, he could still be found with his head in the clouds. The single tragedy of losing his young nephew, changed him forever and drew out the talent he had hidden for so long. He dove into illustrating, rediscovering his love of art, and the ability to create a fresh universe on paper. This artistic journey is dedicated to the memory of their beloved nephew, Nathan, who was taken from them far too soon, and whose bright smile and infectious laugh still echoes in their hearts.
