This website is the online home for Illustrator and Writer Jonathan Barker.
Jonathan believes that pain that is not transformed is transmitted and that with art and creativity we can help people process and heal their pain and therefore live happier lives. Using storytelling, illustration and toyetic styles Jonathan explores themes of disability, existentialism and meaning.
Jonathan is a graduate of the Sheridan Illustration program and has illustrated cartoons for Parks Canada, Deep Water Games and Chalkboard Publishing.
Jonathan's art has been awarded grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and has been featured at Adventurer's Guild Cafe, Center in the Square and Glenhyrst Gallery.
