Pay to Play - 1 in series of 12 - Matt's first ever hyper-realistic pencil sketch. This is a German coin and a Drum key With Matt's musical life and the effort it takes to try and get and band off the ground and the hard slog of gigging for next to no money, this is testament to all musicians that brave the unforgiving music world to show people their artistic passion in that field. Matt wanted to get away from the airbrush for a while as he has been burnt out from it from too much demand for his work especially in training and street murals. He has Embarked on a series of 12 hyper realistic pencil sketches. Wanting to concentrate more on the detail of highly reflective surfaces as they tend to relate well in a black and white monochromatic shade scheme. Matt has also set the scene to capture in focus points on the subjects that blur out creating a three dimensional affect and wider use of techniques in the piece. Matt Jonas was voted Australia's #1 airbrush artist and signwriter. This was the first of a series of 12 original pencil drawings that Matt embarked on. The black and white theme has lead Matt to concentrate the subjects to shining/reflective surfaces, combining hard crisp lines and blurred graded tones to create a hyper-realistic drawing.

For Matt, painting has always been a part of his life, even as a young boy he sketched and practiced calligraphy with his Grandfather throughout his childhood."It's in the blood that's all I can put it down to," Matt said. Matt’s Grandfather was a sign writer and when I was 8 he taught me how to write in calligraphy, then I started sketching and from there it developed into a higher skill. The son of a carpenter and furniture craftsman, Matt used to help his father throughout his teenage years. Also went on to help his uncle of the same trade in his adult life with various projects and had a lot of skills passed on and inherited with woodwork over 20 years. Matt was offered an apprenticeship with his father but decided to follow in his Grandfathers footsteps, starting a sign writing apprenticeship at 19 years-old. It was during this apprenticeship he discovered the airbrush, Matt's artistic talent was visible early on in his career and this was recognized through a number of awards."At 19 I was voted the apprentice of the year and through working in the sign industry I submitted a photo of some sign work I had done and was voted the best airbrush Artist in Australia," he said.However, Matt did take a break from sign writing after finding work too commercial, graphically designed, computer printed and uninspiring. He then worked demolition for 3 years and decided to collect as much timber as he could due to the fact he had been making guitars for the past 8 years and knew its value. Matt Jonas has painted many portraits of bands including AC/DC, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Slipknot, Garbage, Silverchair, Rammstein, Henry Rollins, Max & Igor Cavalera, Mike Patton, Tomahawk, Shirley Manson, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kyuss, Queens of the stone age, Fear Factory, Powderfinger, Murderdolls, The Prodigy, Tea Party, Jet, Billy Connolly, The Living End, Grinspoon, Tim Rogers, Superjesus, Superheist, Steve & Mark Waugh, Chopper Read, The Butterfly Effect, Frenzal Rhomb and Benfolds Five just to name afew, these paintings have all been personally autographed by the artists themselves Matt has been living in Goolwa since 2010 making a name for himself through his public art and the teaching of airbrush and signwriting skills involving local youth.
