Canadian fine artist Jason Edmiston has been exhibiting at San Diego Comic-Con since 2011 and working in commercial illustration since 1996. He traditionally works in acrylic, painting on wood. You have very likely seen Jason’s work, having clients all over the pop culture spectrum like Square Enix, Hershey, Mad Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and Nike.
Some of Jason’s most popular paintings are from his “Eyes Without a Face” series. These paintings are life size renditions of a person’s or a character’s eyes, and the subjects range from movie characters, Muppets, robots, villains, heroes, historical figures, musicians, and everything in between. The prints made from these original paintings are highly coveted and collected, with low print runs and affordable price tags that make them attractive to collectors as well as fans.
