I have known Keyon Jack over 7 years now… [wow Keyon so long boy]…and for a part of those years I had no idea that Keyon Jack was an exceptional artist. I can’t even remember how I found out he had such immense talent, maybe it was because of the numerous sketches he left laying around the office or maybe it was through a mutual friend Bernel Rennie that I found out.

Keyon’s specialty lies on the traditional art side of things. He is excellent with canvas, paints, sketches, pens, pencils, paper.

In 2009 Keyon and Myself were put on a last minute project at the company we work for. We had to come up with an idea for safety week and display it on a banner… and I think we had just about five (5) days notice to come up with something.
Our styles vary drastically. As mentioned earlier, Keyon is more a traditional artist, while I am more a digital artist. We were able to combine our skills and we came up with something and managed to barely scrape a third (3rd) place victory. [I’ll see if I can dig up and post a picture of the finished product.]

For now Keyon doesn’t have a place on the world wide web to display his work, but it is something that he wants to do. I recently opened a deviantART account for him, but sadly he hasn’t added anything to it as yet. Keyon is also interested in trying digital arts. I recently showed him some work of a fellow artist Ben Winfield and the things he is able to do with a bamboo tablet. I know for a fact that when Keyon masters the tablet, he will be unstoppable.
Until that time, his skills remain with tradition art which undoubtedly speaks for itself. If you are interested in purchasing some of Keyon’s art or would like him to do some work for you, you can feel free to contact me via this website and I will put him on to you. [this is just until we find him a place on the web]
