Jardwork: A Visual Art & Social Commentary Blog
http://jardleyjean-louis.com/blog/
My name’s Jardley. I’m an artist from Queens, NYC. I draw. I paint. I now make props, miniatures, stuff for puppets whatever you call it, and puppet fabrication. All for the sake of soon creating stopmotion animation.
On this blog you’ll see what I’m doing creatively, issues I think about and the work of other artists I like.
