Mama Nazarè

Posted by John Lasonio
My addiction to making art started when I was 5 years old and my mom got me a "How To Draw Disney Characters" book, and I would spend hours and hours, drawing them for days on end. I did my first portrait when I was about twelve, and I drew the boy from the U2 inner sleeve from their "Boy" album, I did well with that and moved on to drawing Sting from the Synchronicity album. From there, I did some local contests where I won some and lost some. In high school, my art teacher entered me into a drug free poster contest in the district, and I won out of 755 entries. They used the poster throughout the whole district and I was interviewed by the mayor. As time went by, I just kept making art for my enjoyment, and developed a unique style with acrylic art markers that has set me apart from a lot of other artists. Thanks for stopping in I hope you enjoy my work.
