Jon Tiger
Native American Artist

 

 

Jon Tiger attended the Eufaula, Oklahoma Public School System.  Although mainly self-taught, Jon went on to further art studies at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with Allan Houser (internationally known Apache Artist) as his sculpting instructor in 1971, and Otella Loloma as his painting instructor. After graduating from Sequoyah High School in Tahlequah, Oklahoma in 1973, he returned to the Institute.  His only art class was 3-D drawing with J.D. Roberts as his instructor. In 1975-76, he attended the University of Science and Arts in Chickasha, Oklahoma and the Oklahoma State Technical School in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

 An award winning artist, Jon Tiger exhibited his work in Celle, Germany in 2002 in a 12th Century castle and was most favorably received.  Many Germans are very interested in the Native culture and appreciate the Native way of life.

 Tiger works in acrylic, watercolor, prisma pencil, graphite, oil and ink, woodburning and also paints skulls.  He works in both miniature and large sizes.  He is also a sign painter.  He has given several public school presentations through the JOM Program.

 Jon has designed several University text cover illustrations and conference posters concerning Native issues.  He also accepts commissions.  He is included in “The Biographical Directory of Native American Painters”, authored by Patrick D. Lester in 1995.

Jon Tiger travels extensively showcasing his art.  He has permanent collections at the following venues:

How much is that clear sticky in the window? Woof! Woof!

Since I already had some handy, dandy “Clear Window Decal” sheets, I went ahead and printed 1 out and stuck it in the door.  It’s not going to be as durable as a professionally printed decal, but I can always print another one.

It’s definitely hip to be square

A good example of showcasing the advantages of using this blog is to show you my first tile*:

 

You can click the thumbnail to see it full scale. 

I’m still working on tile*#2, but it’s completely different.  So far it’s a collage, but I plan to doodle some india ink on top.  Actually, I can scan it in and show it as a work in progress.  I actually scanned in this one, since it’s small and flat.  My photographs didn’t turn out quite as crisp. 

 I’ll post the next tile* once I get some comments on this one and make sure that ya’ll are using the site. 

 *NOTE:  Okay, so obviously I’m calling them “tiles,” because I had to call them something.  Is there a different word I should be using?  What do a bunch of artists care about semantics anyway.  ;)  If there is an alternate term, LMK. 

 This is your chance to add a comment telling me how great I am.  I love to be loved.
