Thalo.com, an online publication released by Grumbacher, gave me the honor of being featured on this month’s cover. I answered some questions for them in a short interview that you can read here. Thank you to Daniel and Paige at Thalo.

My painting Into Lists was selected to be presented with the interview. and I am now releasing a strict closed edition set of surface detail photographs of this painting. Please visit JACOB VAN LOON / STORE for more purchasing info.   

“I gain a sense of pride through deviation; whenever I explore a new method or concept and it’s realized physically, whether or not it’s a straight success. It can be more difficult to try something new than some artists are willing to admit, I know I certainly feel accomplished when new things happens in my own work.” —JvL

Look what I just got in the mail!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, JACOB.

Love you.

And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
Not shaking the grass
