This is a continued exploration of the American story. The background is rife with gold and rust, Marlboro men with shaded glasses, signs of strength and signs of warning; Atlas tries to carry the world on his shoulders and the handwriting is on the wall. The ape brothers, Rig and Rex, look out upon the country, faces washed in the stars and stripes of our flag.

Mixed Media - acrylic, tin cans, paper, oil pastel on wood  

18 x 18 in

Original

Assembled with images of scoured Americana, tin cans, Los Angeles road maps and a double-edged dagger, Roman again raises his head. He represents a toughness and gritty freedom cultivated from a life spent on the road. His howl rings out in the wide, American open as well as from deep within.

Jimmy Houston studied film and animation at the University of Texas at Austin. He developed a love for classic animation and the use of cartoon to communicate a broader emotional meaning and universal charm.  His fine art characters bring the viewer into a world of imagination while reminding them of parts of themselves.

Jimmy is deeply inspired by the found and used fragments of society, as is reflected in his work. He employs a range of mixed-media techniques. Acrylic paint, repurposed fabrics, paper and collage elements are sculpted into an emotive strata of layers in each piece.

His creativity is multidisciplinary, including painting, illustration, large-scale murals and video production. 
Above all, he is a visual storyteller.

Jimmy lives in Houston, Texas, with his wife and son. 
His works have been exhibited throughout the city and sold internationally.
