Stiffy Art

I am Jon Stiff and I am Stiffy Art and I would invite you to feel as excited in my art as I am. I offer two distinct styles of imagery.

Six, forensic, fact-based, important questions from Keir Starmer to the PM, asked in a courteous manner. The PM did not always give full and proper answers. But one thing clear in the waffle: we stopped track and trace March 12 because we simply didn’t have the testing capacity.

Just a note to thank 111 and the @OFFICIALWMAS who sent out a Paramedic Crew to carry out an assessment on me last night after a worsening of my symptoms of Covid - 19. Thankfully I wasn’t admitted but the crew were outstanding. #NHS #LoveOurNHS #StayHomeSaveLives

I'm pleased to announce my first set of Laced & Lashed art is now on display on my website. It has proven to be the most challenging stage of my art so far. These creations are purposely targeted to take artworks ‘off the wall'.. https://t.co/x7vUzMZ1UL #stiffyart #lacedandlashed

[Stiffy Art @jon_stiff]

A welcome distraction from the ‘mayhem’ that surrounds us all at present. A delightful ‘threesome’ based on a colour Palette that would not have been mine from choice. Lemon and denim? That was the challenge for this #artcommission. Quite an eye catching combination!

Shakespeare Bust #3 - Day 1 & Done! Less is more ....four tones of blue was enough. The face is almost skeletal under UV lighting. #stiffyart #artcommissions #shakespeare #artwork

[Stiffy Art @jon_stiff]

Shakespeare Bust #2 Day 3. Completed and rather regal looking. Befitting for the Baird. #stiffyart #abstractart #shakespeare #artist #baird #artcommissions

[Stiffy Art @jon_stiff]

Continuing with the Shakespeare busts. Here is Bust #2 Day 1. The first layer and what an immediate transformation. Eerie! #stiffyart #shakespeare #abstractart #artcommissions

[Stiffy Art @jon_stiff]

Bust #1 Day 2. Dotted and done Will I Am ... make over complete. Onto the next! #stiffyart #abstractart #williamshakespeare

[Stiffy Art @jon_stiff]

Day 1 - Bust #1. Base coat and primer finished this morning and no onto the application of the layers. The Guild wanted my floral take on one bust. Strangely enough William looks like he’s smiling. Approve or not approve ‘now that is the question’. Dots next ... lots of them!

[Stiffy Art @jon_stiff]

All three busts now prepared for painting. A troika or a threesome ... now that is the question! #stiffyart #williamshakespeare #expressionism #art #artcommissions #stratforduponavon #paintedbusts
