I'm Jacob.

Profile

Art is my life, it's my career, my relief from that sound of war in my head. Even though I've been creating longer than I've been a soldier, this webs-site covers. My artwork for the most part, this site is always under construction, for December 15, 2017, my studio and home burnt to the ground. I have a new studio to start up and a home that is coming together and moving forward.... stay tuned.

Tools

As an Art Teacher I work with many different media, teaching 2D Design to High School students from 9th to 12 grades. One must be flexible, not drawn to one set of styles or media. With that being said: oils, acrylic, pastel, oil pastel, charcoal, watercolors, color pencils, and markers. Also teach digital design course.
