Owner/Artist/Designer

Thanks to a rich body of work splashed across a broad spectrum of subjects, it’s tough to put Jon Chase’s wildly divergent style into a clearly defined box. Look closely, though, and a pair of enduring constants will ring true, and that’s cars and comics.
Having grown up in Southern California’s hot bed of the hot rod movement, his love of automotive culture and illustration was inevitable. Jon’s father, a surfer and hot rodder, and his mother, an unconventional artist, both became early, lasting influences. It was the intersection of these cultures that laid the foundation for the art Jon creates to this day.
With a storied career spanning nearly two decades, Jon’s unique vision provided the privilege to collaborate with various leading brands within an interesting mix of segments. Some of these include Disney, Monster Energy, Lexus, UFC, Famous Stars And Straps, and Hoonigan Industries, just to name a few.
