Finding his beginnings as a graphic design graduate from Brigham Young University, Jason Naylor’s career took a huge turn when he moved to New York City for a change of scenery and to “immerse himself into the life, color and magic of NYC.” He found a job working in the Creative Department at M·A·C Cosmetics, but after working with some freelance artists and desiring to set off on his own and spread his own message on the streets, he made a career change.
If you scroll down this page, glance at his work, and think to yourself, “wait a minute, this guy isn’t really a digital artist, ” you would be right… But you would also be wrong. You see, for this graffiti artist, it all starts with a relatively simple digital art process that he does on his iPad before every project. He is also active in the “lettering community” (did you know that there was such a thing?). So for Jason, everything starts with the digital and he works in both digital and traditional mediums.
He works in a wide range of artistic mediums, he is a typographer, digital illustrator, product designer, but he loves to make street art in New York. His work is instantly recognizable by the bright colors and rich blacks, but it is equally recognized by messages of love positivity. His positive words reflect his passion for life and joy.

He says that kindness is the key to success and you can see it everywhere in his work. He has worked with companies like Coach, Pepsi, Guess, XBOX and Maybelline and he only works with select companies. He says that his work “is all about messaging, and the first thing I look for is whether the brand has wholesome values or DNA that aligns with mine.”
Jason is an inspiring figure to be sure. His optimistic attitude exudes humility and confidence and his mission is to “spread color and positivity across the globe.” I’ll let you judge his work for yourself to see if you think he is well on his way to his goal.

Murals! — Jason Naylor
Mural for the Jersey City Mural Festival last year with @manapublicarts. Saw it yesterday with this beautiful blanket of snow. Felt so great to see my work looking so bright and colorful on this wall, and I was filled with gratitude for all my blessings…
The meaning of this mural can summed up with this phrase, “THERE IS NOTHING WE CANT DO WHEN WE PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER!”
Ok, last week I asked you all about Valentines Day prints and asked you to choose which image I should do for the print! SOOooo, this is the winner. This is what (MOST) of you chose :)
Nfts — Jason Naylor
OK so this will be my first print of 2022! I do not foresee doing another print until late spring or summer, so if you’ve wanted a proper print, now is your chance!
Last year I got a message from @izzywheels asking if I’d like to collaborate and design some wheel covers for them. I was over the moon, as I had seen other designs they had done, and artists they had worked with, and I knew what an honor it was to be involved.
Even bigger than that though, I was so excited to be able to use my work to do something good for the the world, to make a difference, and to help others.
Clean & Clear — Jason Naylor
Its always an honor to be amongst my heroes in these moments, but to be completely honest, the biggest treasure of all is knowing my work is being used to make the world a better place.
The absence of color is not the absence of emotion. Black symbolizes power, and white purity. Amazing how the contrast of power and purity is so dynamic… #huemotions — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3rQyFmG
Valentines Day is coming up, and I haven’t released a print for a while… SO I will be dropping a print on Valentines Day! It will be an 18 x 24 print, signed, and potentially hand embellished…
Be Cool By Jason Naylor At Re Mark, Salt Lake City
I have been working on some new things and would be excited to do this print, obviously it is based on OPN HEART - but it is a visual exploration of some of the traditional gifts given for Valentines to those we love… FLOWERS…
GM! Happy Friday! Here’s to all who are using your imaginations, your creativity and your dreams to make the world a brighter place 🌞 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3Ip3WUx
Life is a roller coaster, and some are up when you might be down. The world is CRAZY RN and it seems like it’s just exploding even more every day. Whats going on in my head may be wayyyy different than what’s in yours…
A Bold Mix Of Graffiti Art And Digital Illustration With Jason Naylor
Empathy enables us to understand what others feel and see things from their point of view. The ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. The ability to relate….
Empathy leads to compassion - when you recognize and relate to someone who may be down, it can spark desire to help or bring them up… compassion is the action you take when you feel empathetic to someone.
Ultimately what this means IMO is that with a little empathy, and a little compassion, we can be a better version of TOGETHER. We can see and be seen, hear and be heard. TOGETHER we can be a better group, better community, a better world.
