Chicago artist Jason White uses pen, ink and oil to create eye candy, portraits and scenes of otherworldly creatures often interacting with morphed, peculiar people in curious fantasy environments. His illustrations and paintings are seemingly riddled with a deep sense of humor and child-like play, but dig a little deeper and it’s clear that his work is multilayered.
