JADE
MIXED MEDIA

Jade Throgmorton was born in 1971 and has been drawing as long as he remembers. Predominately self-taught from the comic books he loves to collect and read. He was introduced to classic art from famed artists such as: Picasso, Dali, Lichtenstein, Warhol, Frank Lloyd Wright and many more while in college. After learning computer graphics he found the missing key to develop the style he had been looking for.

The pieces are done much like a comic book would be. The composition of the piece is sketched out in thumbnail form, followed up with a tight pencil sketch. The sketch is scanned into the computer where the refining and coloration is done. The final piece is output in a variety of different ways: on canvas then stretched over a frame, on a watercolor type paper, or just plain glossy prints.

Jade lives in Escondido, California with his wife and two children where he owns his own design firm Black+Blue Concepts, specializing in visual arts and illustration. He is currently seeking venues in which to display and market his artwork.

Jade's work is currently being shown at:

Zanzibar Coffee Shop
976 Garnet Ave.
