It is our pleasure to bring you the

Arts Exhibitions
at Adlandpro

An on-line exhibition of work by Artists and Craftsmen at Adlandpro
(A new exhibition every three weeks)

Exhibition No. 28
The work of our new very talented friend Jamie Shelton

Jamie answered my post for artists. I love his work and am very happy that he has agreed to show it. Jamie has been a member of Since Novermber 2006.
If he is not on your friends list please invite him.

About the Artist
From the day that Jamie's older brother placed a simple pencil in his hand at the age of three, Jamie promptly proceeded to draw on nearly everything he came across (including his brother's grammar school diploma). Ever since then, Jamie has quietly & carefully honed an artistic eye for realism matched by very few, & a sense of the creative that placed him in heavy demand as an artist at an early age, all without ever having spent so much as a single day in any formal art training.

By the time he was a teenager, Jamie had already won numerous awards in art fairs & competitions in his native Chicago, while beginning a successful career as a young freelance professional artist. Among Jamie’s numerous accomplishments was an invitation to exhibit in France’s prestigious Salons des Paris, the youngest artist (at 18) to be so honored at the time.

Detoured by personal events, Jamie had to abruptly abandon visual art as an occupation to embark on what would eventually become a full blown career in the hospitality field that would consume most of the next 20 years. While he was able to take on periodic design, portraiture & cartoon work over the course of that time, Jamie's production throughout the remainder of the 80s & most of the 90s was sporatic & undistinguished. But as the internet craze gave rebirth to thriving art & graphic design industries, talented artists that could produce original, distinctive work were once again in high demand. Jamie gradually saw an opportunity to return to his first love stronger than ever before, while adding newly learned desktop publishing & flash animation skills to his repertoire.

Ever the artist entrepreneur, Jamie has been amassing a volume of new charcoal & pencil work to unveil as a comprehensive pin-up sketch collection on www.americansiren.com, slated to launch August 2008. Jamie will introduce new color work to accompany the masterful collage work of his brother, Gametheorist, on www.astralartist.com, slated to re-launch in late summer 2008. Excited to be back doing what he loves most, Jamie's current plans for his art have few limits, if any. Jamie lives & works in Chicago, & is available for commissions & art & design consultation. His online portfolio can be found on www.jamieshelton.net.

As always, Thanks Rose, Jenny & Venerina for another Outstanding Forum Celebrating the Terrific Talents of yet another of our many Gifted Friends here at Adland.

Hello Jamie,

for sharing your Wonderful Works of art with us. You, my Friend, have an Amazing Talent. Although the Oil & Acrylic pieces are Beautiful, I must admit that your work in Charcoal stole the show for me. Without the distraction of Color, you manage to capture the Heart & Soul of the Subject. Your piece on John Lennon, over at your Gallery, www.jamieshelton.net , is simply outstanding, and the eyes capture the very essence of his Peaceful Soul.

Thank You again for allowing us this glimpse of your Amazing Gift.

Have A Blessed & Beautiful Week,

Phil

My artistic and gifted Ladies,

Thank you for this forum. I came over the other day and visited but did not have time to post. I know it must be a struggle to select an artist to present if you have many to submit. All the ones you have brought to us have been great.

Jamie, I sent you a friend's request. Your work is very good. Thanks for the pencils!! To draw something so precise and lifelike requires great skill. Both of my sons could do that very well also but went on to other things to make a living. I hope that you can continue with your artwork and acquire many more skills. I almost like your black & white images but all of them are fabulous.

May God continue to bless you with your talents.
