He started Jon Flaming Design in 1993 and has created award-winning design campaigns and illustrations for a number of clients including Neiman Marcus, Milton Bradley, JC Penney, Pizza Hut, FedEx and Pepsi. Jon's fine art focuses on small town Texas and the Southwest. He is self-taught and works in a number of media, including watercolor, acrylic, oil and found materials. Marsden Hartley, Picasso, Van Gogh, Lee Krasner, Everett Spruce and Otis Dozier are a few of the artists who have influenced Jon's work. A painting by Jon entitled "East Texas Fruit Stand” was recently selected to be included in the permanent collection of the Tyler Museum of Art. His work is also included in many important private collections and has been shown in numerous solo exhibitions. Jon lives in Texas with his wife, Kathy, and their 3 children, Hannah, Jake, Mary - and a golden retriever named "Honey". “I think Jon is doing some of the strongest work in Texas.
