Artist Statement

I consider images are my native language. I feel the spoken word can't express everything I feel. Often I leave things out with the spoken word - not on purpose. My continued pursuit to create images is my way of developing my own language. It has become my most comfortable way to speak to myself and my public.

I live by the statement that images are the only universal language. To make a definitive statement, one to be so crystal clear that no matter where you stand on this earth, I am able to speak to you. That is my definitive search.

For me, I wanted to record my deepest emotions: my obsessions, my private feelings, my dreams, my fears and my aspirations. That's how most of my early work started...It's a concept ive loosely called "Revealing the Unconscious".

I have a new appreciation for the path. To always value the fact that everything happens for a reason always value of the new. Seek the values of every moment regardless of an ultimate result. For that reason I've always promised my story to remain unfiltered. Creating this language of images will ultimately define my history, present and future.

Future of my work

The future of my work depends on telling stories beyond myself. Although I will never abandon the foundation of defining my own story. I seek new subjects through different voices.

To my future friends, I desire the ability to speak through your voice. To cherish life completely while I am here, I want to walk down many life paths, not just my own. I stand by the partnership to define your vision through the integrity of its beginning.

Here is my first series in my new direction:

Paint by Words

See Paint By Words

I reached out to friends through facebook to provide me with poems, writings and any other kinds of written inspiration. Some people texted me texted me material. Before painting I'd read their work several times before starting to paint. In turn I created an image represent their words. Its been an interesting, thrilling project. I've called it "Paint by Words."

To be a good artist, or a successful one, you must expose all of yourself to your audience. No matter how ugly or immoral your chapters may seem - you're defined by your path. Your work starts as a vibration of a feeling and turns into something physical for your audience. - J.Stack 11

 

Design

Logos, Graphics & Vector

Designs by John Stack

My professional career has stumbled into graphic and web design. Its hard to be a designer with so much talent out there. The key is to learn from other designers and push yourself. So I will post my raw vector experiments... I still feel at the begininngs of my potential with digital illustration.

The more times a symbol is repeated the more value it has. - J.Stack 11
