Originally from Tempe, Arizona, Jason Thielke studied art at Northern Illinois University, lived in Sicily for two years and now calls Denver, Colorado home. Jason started his career as a graphic designer working in the active sports industry.
In 2004 Jason joined the Assembly co-op in Denver's Santa Fe Art District. Success in the fine art market enabled Jason to drop his day job and become a full-time studio artist and independent designer. Today Jason is showing nationally with shows booked through 2007.
Thielke's style is sort of a reversal of traditional graffiti. Most of subjects are often victims of graffiti and are not typically seen as beautiful. Here they are drawn in a somewhat graffiti-like style that is meant to glorify them.
