Enjoys cycling, mountains, exhaling in quiet impatience, non-fiction, chocolate, most of the eastern bloc, red, mirrors, and pretty things. Turn-offs include saliva, checkered pants, theories, non-fiction, big sweaty mans, olives, and headstones. Often described as chiseled and refreshingly refreshing, Jason will engage almost anyone in a spirited debate on the place of painting in the modern world. (That place, of course, is right here.) There is a very infamous story about the one time that Aaron S. and he chatted for over twenty minutes on this very subject. If you see either of them - ask about it. It’s a gem to be shared, and you won’t regret it. So why now? Why has his light only now started to shine on the rest of us? If one were to guess, one would probably come to the conclusion that he was timid, or perhaps even scared of what the hoi polloi would think of him. That’s because one is an idiot, wrapped up in his or her own little world of TV, work, and autoerotic asphyxiation. Seriously, wake up. This kind of thing is all around you and the only time you see it is when it’s being crammed in your face. Even then it lasts only a moment… then you can slip back into your warm bath of mediocrity and lose yourself in the white noise of planning for retirement. He is survived by his sisters & parents, and by his own tremendously unstoppable ego.
