About the Artist:

Jonathan "Kovien" Veliz

Thanks for viewing my site. To the new artists out there that have looked through my work, I hope that what you have viewed has, in some way, inspired you to continue your personal journey through creativity. Although I've come a long way with what I do, I still have such a long way to go. The ideas I have within seem infinite. I guess they really are. If all that I imagine doing were placed before me in physical form, there would be no end in sight. I'll always be at the beginning, I think. That's cool, it's always new, then.

Kovien's advice to new artists:

Keeping as far as possible from the mainstream turns the unique in directions that makes us truly different. If you choose to follow that which is common, then how do you expect to move forward. Its true that the "common" seems to flow with most that is. But, adhering to that which all do will keep one from achieving true individuality. Expanding your own personal creativity means removing the boundaries that society has seemed to brainwash into us, seemingly slowly and undetectably. Just because the "next best thing" comes out doesn't mean it truly is. It's not yours, it's theirs. .
