JAMIE JANX JOHNSTON

  ArtBarn anniversary paint jam with a little help from my friends. Local and visitors came together to have fun with paint. Great hanging out with everyone in this new art inclusive space. Adding some colour to Morrison Point in Prince Edward County. Thanks to @countyarts for the panels. Great repurposing project.

  My first large projet after retiring for full time production work with LNDMRK/Mural. This massive surface offered many challenges. Painted at the hottest time of the year. Colors! Rural community! Nature references! My 16 yrs old skateboarding self is so happy that I was able to happen. The eye of the osprey always watching!

  Last minute invite to the Jazz festival . Add some pop to the concord . Collaborative piece using the festival's lettering . Quick afternoon jam. Leaving a great mark during the festivities.

  The final chapter of a 10 years stretch  @muralfestival Best team exit! A paint jam in the Mural Festival alley. Thanks to  @gavlois_   @501_plus_165  and my right hand for many years in production of this festival  @smittybacalley .  I leave with many memories and life long experiences, lifetime friendships. But as they say all things must come to an end.  This paint jam took place in the classic Mural alley behind the TD bank on Prince Arthur/ St Laurent. Paint over a couple of days in between heavy production.

  The dream comes true… After years of wanting to have a barn to continue and develop my ever growing artistic life. A year after suffering a heart attack and switch some of my life’s priorities, Prince Edward County is the landing spot. Welcome to the JNX art barn on Morrison Point. Great opening weekend with the  @pecstudiotour The start of great things to come… stay tuned It’s only the start.

Pendant plusieurs année, je dirige la production et j’assiste plusieurs artist dans la creation de leurs œuvre. Cette fois, quelque chose de spéciale. Kevin Ledo est une ami pendant quelque temps. Nous attendions le moment que nous étions sur une production ensemble. Voilà isolé loin de notre quotidien de grande ville. Deux amis, deux artists… Ensemble pour la première fois pour dédié l’art à un grand artist quebecois: Michel Côté.    

Themed on suicide prevention this mural is produced with the help of « les Courag_eux » a group of men aged 25 and up who participated in a prevention workshop . This workshop is the ground work for the values used to build the imagery of this Mural. The Blue Jay symbolises communication, confidence & resilience. The hand is filled with the topics and values exchanged in our workshop. The sun is for getting to the next sunrise, the next day. Include in this mural is a library of suicide prevention references framed above the blue jay. Let’s take out the taboo & Let’s Talk
