Jonathan Man was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Vancouver, BC.  Many of his subjects tend to be, but are not limited to animals.   Living in the wilderness, animals have a lot of freedom - drawing them relaxes the artist and provides him with the enjoyment of a similar independence because of their stress-free nature.  The creative process can be intensely freeing and joyous, and at the same time unnerving and unpressured”.   Jonathan’s artwork focuses on sensation and emotions, so sketching pencils are his primary toolsof choice because they are so natural yet expressive.

Over the last few years, Jonathan has been developing his drawing skills under a private art teacher.  After graduating high school in 2006, Jonathan was accepted to the Emily Carr University where he also currently studies.  There he has experienced a variety of art processes, further nurturing his creativity and potential.

T-shirts on display at Art Beatus will available for sale, each featuring one of Jonathan Man’s six designs.  Accompanying the shirts will be the original drawings that inspired these creations.   The animals on the shirts depict and express what each and every one of us experience in life.

Fun, unique and original animal themed t-shirts are available for $35.00.  They come in a variety of prints and sizes for both men and women.  Purchase more than one tee and receive 25% off the second tee.  Quantities are limited so don’t miss out on this very special opportunity.  To see more t-shirts, click here.
