Man I have been coming back to this page for like 2 years to see what you drop - always amazing stuff!Β Do a lot of writing for Psychedelic publication and you're art is bare none some of the best psychedelia out there imho sir.Β I've seen you mention that you use Sharpies, but what all kinds of markers do you use?Β The smooth blending you get is just crazy and some of those hues and shading pull off is just jaw dropping!

Thank you!Β That's very kind of you to say.Β Yeah almost all of my color work is just sharpies and whiteout.Β It just comes from experimenting with different sharpie types and figuring out which ones blend well.Β

Oh, to see what you see when you close your eyes...
It seems the 'reef' picture that brought me to your page was one of your far tamer submissions... haha. But man, a quick run through your gallery is not enough; I feel like I'm missing things if I don't look at something for a while. Great work, Sir... don't ever stop.

I've been a lover of your artwork for the past 4 years and it has been the sole influence on my own work. Thank you so goddamn much for existing and making art, without it I would not have felt driven to improve my own creative outlets.

Jared, you seem to be really weird but you're also a genius. I dig it.

Hey, dude, have you ever thought of doing "Speed drawing" footage of your work in progress? It would be great to see (I have never really been able to work out how you do the highlights in you work). Here is an example of what I mean - [link]

hey sorry for taking awhile to get back to you but I'm stuck doing everything on my phone for now
I have thought about doing something like that I just don't have the means for that right now. as for highlights, I do them with a Bic whiteout pen and sometimes I color into those highlights.

Totally dig your style!! And hey, you like Lighting Bolt? WOW!! We must be the only two people on dA who like Lighting Bolt.
And Transmetropolitan is awesome. Keep up the really awesome work.

Im impressed by your new work. I have no idea how you get such rich colours and smooth transitions with marker pens.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! It's mostly just using different Sharpies. I'm going to try and start mixing gouache and water color in there too and see what happens.
