Travis Kelce Print 8x8 by Jason Wilcox

Wonderful local art by Jason Wilcox who has put his spin on some of the most famous players from our Championship Chiefs.  Print only with Stayflat envelope.

Art has always been a passion of mine. I knew from a very early age that art would be a strong influence in my life.

J Art Pro is born out of Jason Wilcox's creative mind, and influenced by a collaboration of painting, graphic design, video production, and music. Jason's artistic vision developed from an early age and advanced through education at Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts in Kansas City, Missouri where he was awarded Best Visual Artist of his Senior class of 2000. The Scholastic Arts Award earned him college art program scholarships.

Current media include acrylic, gold, silver, copper and green leaf, ink, paint marker, oil pastel, spray paint and watercolor. Natural sponges are the preferred application method for blending, but some pieces are done with a brush. New media and application techniques are uniquely utilized within each piece of work, such as embroidery, Marley hair, and French lace veil. Jason's work shows a contemporary outlook on realism, abstract, and pop art styles.

Artistic Mission: to entice the viewer to escape reality and live an alternate life within the painting.

In addition, Jason choses to pay homage to the works of the legendary graffiti artist
Jean-Michel Basquiat. Jason’s understanding of the mental and conceptual idea that Basquiat
used in his creative process is brilliant.
