About JeffersonJEFFERSON STILLWELL aka J-DOG
I live in a colorful world filled with unique and amusing characters that inhabit the land, the sea and other galaxies. These images are always in my head, banging away to be released, viewed and wondered about. They are fun, comical, usually cute, sometimes on the edge but always harmless. My characters can also appear in 3 dimensions created of foam board, clay, wood or cement. Several roam freely in our Kihei garden. Occasionally, a painting will pour out that is devoid of my friends. Some are more serious, abstract and graphic. Fortunately, I’ve never suffered from painter’s block, just marketing block, so my inventory is large. If you’d like to see more, I invite you to visit my Kihei studio.
