A rapidfire performance, Jon can create a masterpiece in minutes. Buildings and scaffolding act as an easel, the streets are his never ending canvas, splattered head to toe, Jon himself is a walking pallet of colours.

Jon treats any environment as though it is his art studio, live painting, drawing and sculpting to a soundtrack of motivating music. This master of fast arts creates an excitable atmosphere with his speedy, vigorous creations.

Working on anything from 6ft tall paintings to the pavement beneath your feet, any image is possible indoors or outdoors. All shows suitable for street festivals and adaptable to cabaret and corporate events. Jon can also work to a specific brief, from fantastic speed performances to works over minutes, hours or days.

Jon's repertoire of famous people he paints include, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, John Lennon, Robbie Williams, Eminem, Clint Eastwood.... 

"The master of the fast arts demonstrates his repertoire with vigorously versatile virtuosity, an absolute spectacle" Edmonton International Street Festival
