The print is titled BLOOM, and this design reflects our growth over the past 2 years during the pandemic, and how in this “spring” of our lives, we are ready to bloom, blossom and emerge as our best, most colorful selves. Through love, patience, and positivity, we’ve grown, we’ve evolved and we are filled with life. And this print will be your reminder of the blooming new you!
The print will drop on the @ntwrk app, I will be going live to talk about it a bit, as well as hand embellish a few of these with spray paint, and you’ll be able to purchase right ton the app. I will leave a link in my bio to get the NTWRK app if you need it!

Mural for the Jersey City Mural Festival last year with @manapublicarts. Saw it yesterday with this beautiful blanket of snow. Felt so great to see my work looking so bright and colorful on this wall, and I was filled with gratitude for all my blessings…
The meaning of this mural can summed up with this phrase, “THERE IS NOTHING WE CANT DO WHEN WE PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER!”
Jason Naylor In A World Of Hope
Ok, last week I asked you all about Valentines Day prints and asked you to choose which image I should do for the print! SOOooo, this is the winner. This is what (MOST) of you chose :)
OK so this will be my first print of 2022! I do not foresee doing another print until late spring or summer, so if you’ve wanted a proper print, now is your chance!
Last year I got a message from @izzywheels asking if I’d like to collaborate and design some wheel covers for them. I was over the moon, as I had seen other designs they had done, and artists they had worked with, and I knew what an honor it was to be involved.
Jason Naylor Keeps Hope Alive
Even bigger than that though, I was so excited to be able to use my work to do something good for the the world, to make a difference, and to help others.
Its always an honor to be amongst my heroes in these moments, but to be completely honest, the biggest treasure of all is knowing my work is being used to make the world a better place.
The absence of color is not the absence of emotion. Black symbolizes power, and white purity. Amazing how the contrast of power and purity is so dynamic… #huemotions — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3rQyFmG
Jason Naylor Lives Life Colorfully
Valentines Day is coming up, and I haven’t released a print for a while… SO I will be dropping a print on Valentines Day! It will be an 18 x 24 print, signed, and potentially hand embellished…
I have been working on some new things and would be excited to do this print, obviously it is based on OPN HEART - but it is a visual exploration of some of the traditional gifts given for Valentines to those we love… FLOWERS…
GM! Happy Friday! Here’s to all who are using your imaginations, your creativity and your dreams to make the world a brighter place 🌞 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3Ip3WUx

Life is a roller coaster, and some are up when you might be down. The world is CRAZY RN and it seems like it’s just exploding even more every day. Whats going on in my head may be wayyyy different than what’s in yours…
Empathy enables us to understand what others feel and see things from their point of view. The ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. The ability to relate….
Empathy leads to compassion - when you recognize and relate to someone who may be down, it can spark desire to help or bring them up… compassion is the action you take when you feel empathetic to someone.

Ultimately what this means IMO is that with a little empathy, and a little compassion, we can be a better version of TOGETHER. We can see and be seen, hear and be heard. TOGETHER we can be a better group, better community, a better world.One of the great things about living in New York is the visual feast you can indulge in no matter where you go; from the Upper West Side to Williamsburg, there's plenty of graffiti, murals and other street art to illuminate your travels.
If you happen to be near 6th and 16th in Chelsea, you just might stumble across some art that's even more vibrant than the others. This wall is the handiwork of Brooklyn-based artist, designer and One Club for Creativity Member Jason Naylor. Usually working for fashion and beauty brands, Jason jumped at the opportunity to get paint-spattered and dirty for a positive message.
The project started out as a competition for the commission, held by StonehengeNYC, to find an artist to paint this wall they had on one of their buildings. To enter I had to submit a proposal for the wall, which was then chosen byStonehengeNYCto proceed to the final round, which was “the popular vote.” Finalists had their designs posted on StonehengeNYC social media channels and whichever piece got the most engagement (likes, comments, shares, etc.) would be the winner.

I won the competition and then painted the first wall, which I think was a great success! Everyone responded positively to the message “Live Life Colorfully, ” especially in the Chelsea neighborhood where it lives, and the community seemed stoked about it.
StonehengeNYC then approached me, explaining that they had other “dead” wall space on other buldings and had envisioned using it in some way to spread some positivity throughout the city. They ask ifwould I be interested in expanding the project and painting some more walls. I, of course, was delighted!So we had a brief conversation about my vision for the next wall and I did a few concept drawings, and we agreed upon the final design for the 2nd wall, “Love Comes in Every Color.”
How did you develop the idea behind this? Did they give you an idea of what theywere looking for, or were youfree to do what you felt was right?
A Bold Mix Of Graffiti Art And Digital Illustration With Jason Naylor
The original idea for the “Live Life Colorfully” was based on an ongoing theme in my work, which is about being true to yourself. I thought this message would be a good sell for that neighborhood, and it seemed like a colorful piece would resonate with people who had to walk by this mural every day and see it. As for the second one, when StonehengeNYC said they wanted to spread some color and positivity, I thought, 'what could be a more perfect common thread for more messages than the word COLOR itself'?That's how the second message evolved. StonehengeNYC was totally on board, and I felt like I had creative liberty to persue as I saw fit, but ultimately they did approve the design before painting.
Give us a taste of your prep work, before the first bit of paint hits the wall. Do you work strictly manually, or do you do any of your concepting on a computer or tablet beforehand?
Here are some thesketches, and a few progress pics! I do use the computer, especially if the type needs to feel designed or graphic as opposed to hand made. “Colorfully” was designed on the computer and the rest was sketched out using ipad pro / apple pencil.

Well obviously spray paint!Montanais my preferred brand. Sometimes I employ projectors;I used one to get the outline up for'Live Life Colorully', but I just used a measuring tape and masking tape for the other one. I use a lot of masking tape as guides, as well asto mask certain areas while painting. I also have a painters straight edge I use to make straight lines. I used Sharpie oil markers for little details. I used a stencil for the word “colorfully” which I had cut, so I had to do some measuring and design the stencil beforehand. And lastly, cardboard or stencil board, for masking and to make any little stencils I might need.
So far the feedback has been really positive! For the most part, everyone seems pleased with the work, especially the client, but also the tenants of the buildings, and the neighbors. The response on social media has been really huge;apparerently during Pride Week people were lined up to take photos in front of the “Live Life Colorfully” wall. But of course, during the painting process there is always a select few people who are angry or displeased by it. One guy stopped while I was painting the second wall to tell me I was “defacing” the building and proceeded to curse up a storm about StonehengeNYC. It's kinda funny afterwards, but when
