infuse all of my Pen & Ink illustrations with coffee,” says Jon.  “Funny story, it happened by accident one jittery morning, and when I discovered how cool the sepia wash looked, the rest is history.“

Jon is the founder of Lost Colony San Francisco, a vehicle for Jon to give back to the Bay Area community. He is creating a coffee table book with his artwork and plans to go on tour on the West Coast and sell original drawings, books and more. A portion of sales will go to select charities in the cities where he stops – especially those helping with homeless outreach/relief and women’s’ domestic violence counseling/relief.

More fun is promised with performance artists, including a trio called “The Drinking” and a solo artist name David McBride.
