For months I've been admiring J-Rod's art on e-bay but hadn't taken the step to purchase anything yet. Since I had e-mailed him to get on his mailing list, I found out about a super sale he had on a print and thought, 'what do I have to lose?'
I swear it's the fastest shipping ever... 2 days! But beyond the shipping time (yes, instant shopper here just couldn't bear to wait for arrival!) the print was amazing! I just cannot say enough about it. With a wry sense of humor he put together a whimsical satire called "Elastic Martini." As a Florida girl this print speaks miles to me about the Blue Plate Specials as we call 'em down here!
This won't be the last he's heard from me, altho I think I'll buy a few more of his pieces before I plaster his name on the net.
Truly a cool and up-and-coming artist we'll see much more of over the years!
Check out his website www.jrodart.com ; he also has his wife's stuff on the site. I haven't had the pleasure of chatting with Pyper yet but she does some wonderful metal art. Very different from Jarrod's work but still satisfying.
A sweet spot in my heart for this Montana boy's work... may his artwork flourish!
