Jesse works in multiple mediums, on multiple substrates.  Surreal landscapes that twist, and turn, and become animated through perspective are the makeup of his alternate reality.  Through use of a saturated palette, and dynamic light source, combined with distorted spatial issues, a unique, whimsical feeling is evoked in his work.   

     Jesse draws inspiration from the impressionists for their use of color to express light and their actual application of paint on the canvas, techniques that continue to impress, awe, and influence him.  Surrealists like Rene Magritte have left an indelible mark on Jesse by creating realities where there are no rules.  He appreciates Caravaggio and other Baroque-Era painters for their dynamic use of light, and painters like Salvador Dali who create expansive landscapes with un-ending space.  Street-art, and graffiti also heavily influence his work, with most influence coming from today's Modern Impressionists.  Comic books, concert poster art, product label art, the list of visual inspirations is endless.  

      In addition to his fine art, he enjoys creating functional designs that contain elements of his aesthetic, ideology, and style.  Commercial signage, logos, visual branding, personalized shoes, beer can labels, not much is off limits.
