About the artist, John Taylor

“For me, art and music flow into a creative confluence. Encouraged by my family to draw and play the drums at an early age, I continue to find expression in these art forms.
Caricature drawing and jazz music are intuitive, personal modes of expression and one seems to grow out of the other. The rhythm, flow and spontaneity of jazz evoke unorthodox expressions on faces of jazz musicians which are uniquely suited to the caricature medium. With respect for the highly developed skills of legendary and contemporary jazz masters, I patiently infuse each caricature rendering with characteristic humor and individuality.
Each custom caricature is as unique as the artist himself. Hand drawing each work of art in pencil lends period character to the look and feel of the jazz genre.
To watch a truly gifted jazz musician play is one of life's inspiring moments. To see the personality of the same musician take shape on my drawing board is an equally inspiring moment for me, as I prod, poke and pencil jazz geniuses.”
