Introduction: Artist : Jared as Artist
I never considered myself an artist. In fact I avoided art altogether. My brother was the artist – he was always drawing – he lived for comic books. He even went to art school. Of course my brother is Brian Michael Bendis is most famous these days for writing Spiderman (as well as many other comic books). Instead I focused on music – to be honest I wasn’t very good but I enjoyed playing guitar and singing and it made for a nice contrast.
When I went back to school to finish my BA I took a summer course in Raku Ceramics out at the university farm. This is an amazing 2 week intensive course and a whole lot of fun. I’ve taken it 4 times and even produced a CD-Rom on it. After Raku I took Painting and things have just gone crazy from there. I love working as an artist. Surprisingly my brother was very supportive and he helped me whenever he could – which isn’t often as his area of expertise is in drawing and writing and as he once told me that it was only when he stopped drawing and started writing that he got famous.
Most be are surprised to find out that multimedia is my primary medium. I love painting and photography (not digital) and I specialize in photographing castles. I’ve been to about 250 around the world (so far) and am always looking for an excuse to visit more. I do work in some digital mediums especially in augmented and virtual reality.
