Artist Bio:
"Hi! I’m Jon Bonjour! My friends call me Jon Bon. I’m an illustrator, graphic designer, and storyteller with the life goal of spreading love through creativity! Comic book, storyboard, children’s book, and coloring book art have been my focus for over a decade.
My passion for creativity was sparked when I picked up my first comic book (Amazing Spider-Man Issue #378) at a garage sale at age 10. I will never forget how my neighbor (who was moving out at the time) saw me discover this amazing new art form and decided to give me hundreds (literally HUNDREDS) of comics for $7 because that’s all I had on me.
That act of kindness inspired me.
I see art not as an expression of myself, but as a gift given to me to steward. I am honored to have the opportunity.
