Art by Phil J consists of natural media in other words both painting as well as illustration in the form of portraiture (caricatures), landscapes, and custom painting projects. In addition Phil uses digital or computer media to create his art.

Whenever I need special artwork to enhance my writing, particularly my blog posts, Phil creates the artwork for me.

PHIL’S ART Phil’s pieces include the styles and themes throughout this page. He creates artwork for my website and blog posts as well as organizational projects . Actually, the fun portrait here is Phil’s creation of me wearing my favorite red and black lumberjack plaid winter coat. This jacket shows some similarity to the Hudson Bay Mackinaw Jacket in the Hudson Bay Blanket Blog Post.

Long Beach Polar Bear Swim Poster 2004
This poster was designed to promote the Long Beach Polar Bear Swim soon after the event became a yearly tradition coinciding with Super Bowl Sunday. The event is also in honor of Paulie Bradley who passed away before you could get his ‘Make A Wish’ Foundation Wish. It has become the template for the poster used every year since then. The original art is a combination of natural and digital media.
