Artist Makes Streets Less Boring By Creating Graffiti That Interacts With Its Surroundings (53 New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Art has a lot of meanings and a lot of ideas behind it. Every art piece will mean a different thing, depending on who you ask. People create art for different reasons: some to make something beautiful, some to let out their creativity and share it with the world, some simply out of boredom. Street artist Jamie Paul Scanlon, however, started to create art for a different reason.
Jamie, better known as JPS on his social media, didn't have the best childhood, nor luck. He was brought down by life so many times, he gave into 'heavy drink and drug use,' as JPS himself said. Thankfully, Jamie rediscovered art and it showed him that he could do so much more and turn his life around. And that's exactly what he did.

Cool image but not cool to do graffiti on rocks or in nature. Keep it to man-mad objects. Kids see this and think it ok to tag rocks and trees: it's not.

Art is a heavy cross to bear, so many expectations, so little respect if your work doesn't fit those expectations.

The wet reflection really adds that extra layer of 'oohhh'.

I hate this one SO. MUCH. Because I’m terrified to the core of that creature and this is too good a depiction of him. *full-body-shudder* (I even had to scroll just right so I couldn’t see it while writing this comment)

If I were one of those kids, even if I was offered a balloon, when I see that face, I'll run in the other direction.

These are small tidy paintings. It’s not like he’s taken a can of spray paint and made sweeping random marks

I find him incredibly talented, however the painting on rocks felt wrong enough but on trees hell no, and one looked like the back of a tombstone/gravestone and that is horrible. On manmade stuff, sure but leave nature alone, it is beauty itself, it does not need help.

The trees were commissioned, the tomb stone isn't a tomb stone, it's a roof tile.
