I was so close to burn out at the end of last year. The same day I decided to take a holiday was the day Alicia keys DM'd me asking if I could do a drawing for her in 3 days. It was one of the most stressful few days I've experienced but that pressure turned out the help the creative process in a huge way.

3 days of creating it? That's insaneee... if they respected your art they would've messaged months before. Your work is amaizing.... keep going...
Agreed
wtf are you talking about... if they respected his art work... if they did not respect it they would not of got him to do it... just wow go back to hiding under that rock you crawled out of... messaged him months ago? yeah because that's how the world works...
@@firelordOzai3 then your just as dmb as diamondaezzart
She Is a Workaholic. She Respects his work, otherwise she Won't have ask him!
Sometimes an idea occurs in the moment and one takes a risk that all the moving parts will come together.
All that work for just a story shoutout is crazy. Goes to show the suits and media don't appreciate or understand art/artists
Really pulled a number on him
That's one way to look at it, but perhaps it leans a bit towards a victim mentality. Another way to look at it is that yes, the demands placed were high, but this provided Jono the opportunity to be tested in his abilities and become sharper because of it. Long term perhaps it wouldn't be healthy. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Regardless of the opportunity this provided him if you were to compare his treatment in this scenario against other professionals of similar skill and expertise he is being taken advantage of. Imagine imposing these terms on a lawyer or a doctor. The fact that people just expect artists to bend over backwards and produce for opportunity or exposure is ridiculous. Maybe your perspective works for an amateur but he might as well be a master.
@@Spynuffin I disagree. There is no necessity to compare him to a doctor or a lawyer. The offer was made, and he knew what he was getting himself into. He could say no if he desired. The moment he took up the challenge, which he knew was going to push his mind and spirit, he took all complaints off the table and used his energy to meet the demands. I didn't hear any complaints from him in the video, mind you. I did hear him say that it was something he knew was not sustainable. Sometimes a man must run a sprint to see what he is capable of.
Also, he is free to put the price tag accordingly. The pressure of a short delivery means a more expensive service. I’m sure he was paid properly, which also makes it worth it.
I REALLY hope that she compensated you adequately. She’s an artist asking another artist for an insane task (imagine asking her to write and produce a song in 2-3 days AND to document the process, edit it and send that over to you
Absolutely. This was my first thought.
I thought the same as well!
Why all the unnecessary outrage? As an artist he accepted the challenge with no undertaking from her other than an appreciation of his art work and he responded because he felt flattered that a well known singer song writer got in touch with him. He said she acknowledged his work. He isn’t perturbed by it but the internet trolls cannot wait to find something or someone to be outraged about!
@@camnsprencheria3225 I am not sure about these comments ether its not about the challenge he was hired to do a job which he agreed to. if the time line did not work for him then he could of passed on it... you have to understand if it normally takes 2 months... he was more then likely paid for 2 months for 3 days of work... his fee is his fee
@@camnsprencheria3225It is because the artist accepted due to being told his artwork would be displayed during a live show, he worked so hard and on an absurd time frame because it would give him wide ranging publicity. All he got was a shoutout on a page. Not what was offered.
I am sad that you put so much into this art piece and it wasn't live streamed or in the main event. Your work is incredible.
Don’t understand how she thought you’d get that done in such a short time frame. Gotta be more considerate of your time and expertise. Kind of insulting to me but your work is amazing. You did a phenomenal job 🙏🏽💕
Yeah well I think whenever a person becomes a celebrity they can just ask and receive with no questions ask. In doing so they probably do not take into consideration of what others have to go through to complete their requests bc they can just throw money around and think it'll just solve the issue. Plus 99.99 percent of artists would not turn a celebrities request die. Like that, and they know it. In turn it gives them this idea that they can just ask ppl on a whim without a care of how the artists feels.
All that for a shout out from her page isn't worth it. She should of said, "Can we colla, and I will come on your channel" that way her fans see it's more to it than some artist drew her. He is seen as the artist who did the work and it's better exposure. However she would probably want to get paid to do a collab which brings me to the point, celebs live in their own world, and they have a whole different set of morals they don't view other ppls value only theirs and it's bc they constantly get praised by everyone
@@TommyLee-hu5dy i agree 100%
But she didn't just ask and receive. She shared an idea that she had with him and asked him if he was up for the job. He was under no obligation to take it nor was he omplaining about it. In fact he seems very grateful for the opportunity to showcase his art to a newer group of people and to have challenged his creativity in ways that could have only happened under immense pressure, as he said. These kinds of last minute deals happen all the time when you've made it as an artist. Its a good sign I promise.
As an actor, I've taken gigs 1-2 days before it's due to perform. It happens quite a lot especially in NYC. Lord knows they could've asked plenty others but hey, they gave me the opportunity and I'm grateful because it means they thought I could do it. So I've taken it. That also means learning a whole script and choreography in less than a day and performing with a cast of sometimes complete strangers I've never rehearsed with. But the point is, its a job, an opportunity to do what I love and to challenge myself while doing it. Its no different with Jono.
The fact that he was able to do it proves the time frame was only a challenge and that he was capable.
I hope the yt algorithm will recognize more artists like you cause your art us amazing
My favorit technique skill JONO DRY is the best art
TH-cam recognizes the awesome video about.. not the artist. Think about that for a moment....
You did that in 1 fucking day?. That’s hell lotta motivation for us man. You gotta share these kind of stories. I kept thinking I didn’t give enough time to my drawing to make it look beautiful but thsi vdo just busted a huge myth for me jono. Thanks man your every vdo helpes me put forth one step further into world of art.
just to have an A List celeb to recognize your passion and then actually reach out to you on a personal level, is a big achievement and reward on its own ❤
I don't like when people thing your art takes one minute to make But Great job as always Jono!!!
I love this new skit/podcast style video when you go retrospect. It suits your style of storytelling
You are one of the most talented artists, I've ever seen.
Having spent time within the highend music/actor space, they are quick to have many idea's but most are fickle and rarely appreciate the value of other people's time. Their worlds revolve around them and are facilitated by whimsical entourage.
Jono your art is just awesome.
The stress and pressure for a big celebrity!? I cannot imagine, but your work is amazing. I loved the end product and the mindset. 👏🏼
Jono's artwork truly inspires me to move to larger canvases!
Congratulations on working with Alicia Keys, what you drew for her looks amazing 👏
That’s a big deal congratulations. You guys are funny I see the video editor playing the part of your mate with the wig 😂. That was amazing work 🎉
HOW did it not make it into the livestream? Incredible work...
It was so cool that you got a chance to work with Alicia Keys. It's good that more and more people are recognizing just how talented that you are. Also the fact that you had your editor in bed with a wig on playing the part of your partner is hilarious.
Wow, what an experience and achievement Jono, fantastic!
You're absolutly amazing Jono. Thank you Jono and team bringing this art to life.
Congrats Jono!
Fantastic, Jono! Couldn't happen to a harder working, talented, nicer guy. Continued success!
WOW! Your work is so breathtakingly beautiful. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing
PRESSURE is the key to editing with more precision, and pushing through the unnecessary noise we usually entertain during a typical creative process. I might die of suffering and the pain from physical and emotional exhaustion, but the revelation afterwards and realisation of how I trusted myself, and navigated the added pressure, tension, stress, and abuse (hehe), always leaves me with a higher and more personal satisfaction and achievement. A slower pace scares me more, as I am more likely to be bored multiple times along the way.
Stress, kept in limits can do wonders. Bravo, Jono!!
Congratulations 🎉👏 finally people are appreciating good art
This whole story is insane🙌🏾 it's incredible to hear/see your reach growing as your style and artwork has done! Can't wait to be able to see your works in person one day - I'm in such awe of you☺️
Fantastic Jono! I'm very happy for you you were given this opportunity and that you pulled it off succesfully. Hopefully this will give you the right kind of exposure which allows you to realize your ambitions, whichever those may be!
Mesmerizing. Fantastic pieces that will look great anywhere.
Wow! How awesome!
i love your dynamic together
You are such an amazing Artist!!! Just watching this video and hearing the story made me "stress-sweat" and you tell it in such a relatable and humble way.... amazing really. Bless you ❤
This is the first time I stumbled upon your channel, your artworks are FANTASTIC!
What a gift you have. Great job!
😮 … awesome no pressure. This is wonderful.
I gasped aloud when I first saw your work.
Incredible!!!! So beautiful
Felicitaciones!!! Sigo tu trabajo hace tiempo es genial. Y aunque soy pintora, aprendí mucho con tus videos.
Muchas gracias.
Saludos desde Chile
Wowwww this is so dope! Your amazing so this makes sense!
Congrats!!!!
That is amaaazing!
This is so awesome...your genius bro..
How much you sold it for? I really hope you didn’t do it for free
two of my favorite artists 😍
Amazing work!
wow amazing work!
God bless you. I hope you made decent money and I hope that more and more people hit you up. Your work is masterful
Way to go dude
Such an incredible inspirational human being! Every time I watch this guy it uplifts me and urges me to try harder and keep going with my passions..... The only problem is.....I've got too many things I'm passionate about, I need to choose my favourite creative outlet and charge at it head first, no brakes! Thanks for your inspirational influence Jono. 🙏🏾
I feel your struggle, and can relate!
Focusing on one thing at a time is a challenge. Best to ya! 🙏❤️
Love your works...
Jo.. you have a stadium of 493K followers. That's a great accomplishment. Your dedication to your art finding the best way to accomplish the beautiful peace of art you show us prove your are one of the top great artist in you industrie. You have realise the impossible in a very short time for that demand. Do not burn your self. We ...your fans, can wait for your next accomplishment.
5 stars for your film maker, producer
This reminds me of that last cram the morning before exams, congrats on accepting the challenge 👏
Jono's work inspired me to combine realism and expressionism.
Man, you have more patience than I do with people expecting a detailed drawing so soon. I would've told Alicia Keys to eat my ass if she expected me to draw something so elaborate in 3 days.
That was great lil Sis 😊
CONGRATULATIONS! This was such a warm and inspiring story you went through. Amazing work on the final piece💯💙 glad that you shared your excitement here with us.
May your future ideas & works be more thrilling with adventurous energy
In Sha Allah 🙌😇
You trully are The Maestro. You are My favourite ilustrator. And Alicia Keys!!❤❤❤❤
All I have to say is 'wow'❤
Thats becaus Alicia has style and taste.She is a prof...and knows exactly what professionality looks like.
My compliments....so so deserved!!!
I knew that I made the right choice subscribing to your channel. 😎
That is not the kind of challenge that you’ll see all over social media and definitely not a challenge that most would accept and accomplish on such a limited time schedule.
Congratulations Sir on a memorable collaboration with Alicia Keys. 🌹 She is one of my most admired artist.
❤ 🫵🏽 BOTH 👊🏽
Your Art work is phenomenal 👌👌🧡🧡🧡 about your Art Work.
I'm all for an art challenge, but DAMN! that's a crunch.
Absolutely 🖤
Nothing but respect to you man seriously 💯👈 with family visiting and a deadline like this are you freaking serious! 😨😰 This is the same work ethic Tupac had in the studio! This is so motivational and inspiring! 👍 God bless you man!
I guess she wanted a simple sketch, how strange is an artist herself she must realize how much time goes into making a work of art that really matters. I love your style. I love your art. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing one of my favorite favorite artist in the whole world.
First of congratulations, nobody gets recognised like that. I felt the goosebumps as you unfold how it went like and as soon as you mention in 3 days, I felt like fart and pee coming at the same time. Nonetheless, it's a big game for you and deserved huge clients like her and more. I am excited for you. Thank you for taking us through beautiful story I really feel inspired bottoms off I'm even on the edge of a mountain kind of feeling. What keeps this inspiring is you came a long way and one day can you do Instagram qna, just to talk about how this even opened up for you to aim after this big work.❤❤❤
Having the team like you have is also a game changer seeing your video, they truly fold their work like now this guy is interviewing you incredibly 😭😔❤ c'mon!!!
Wow...I felt the pressure for you! 😥 I am not as wonderful as you but had a project I put a lot of detail into. I got paid for the art but it was never used. It was for a movie.
Would you consider doing your own version of a surreal Portrait Of Alicia? maybe like a version of the earth goddess Gia with roots, vines, water smoke and fire, I can just imagine what it would come out like. All the best always Mr Dry
I am over impressed.
Nice video ❤
Thanks!
Thanks so much! 🙏😊
she shit on you. all that work and barely any representation. You deserve better. keep doing you and learn from this.
seems like a diva move on her part. Snap her fingers to get someone to bend over backward for her, then say never mind. Zero respect for her.
Asking you to do a drawing in 3 days would be like asking her to write, record, edit and release a perfect album where each song is Grammy worthy in 3 days - with a worldwide live performance at the end of those 3 days. I hope she understands this. What you accomplished though is simply outstanding and you delivered.
Thats not true at all doing a drawing isnt nearly as time consuming as recording and editing a song what are you talking about! He agreed to it and his work came out beautiful at the end
Let alone a full album smh!
@@RawazJabbar Except that you're somewhat missing the point... A major high-profile, world-renown client requesting a highly-detailed, photo-realistic, large format commission, all done by hand in days without notice and within minimal concept discussion is not an easy ask - no matter how talented you may be... especially when you know any thing less than perfect would be tossed and could negatively affect your reputation. This wasn't a simple sketch portrait or digital art that someone can run through Lightroom and remove layers, mistakes or use filters.
FWIW, many major hits, albums and recordings have been written in minutes, recorded in one-take and had less than a day in a studio with little to no editing so it is very possible to do what I was using as an analogy - the point was to highlight how this wasn't exactly no-pressure commission and could have very easily failed..
@@prsjackal i get it bro its actually common...especially in entertaintment industry most things are on short notice, plus this is not a graphite Drawing its Charcoal and 1 day is alot of time for a charcoal piece if he worked 24 hours non stop thats plety of time because charcoal is a fast medium
Wow...hi Jono.
O wow u definitely deserve it ill follow with you
Congrats
Hope she paid well
Had you working for 3 days straight under pressure, to not even use the end-result in the final product, except for a shorts/story... That's rough 💯
This greatly inspiring🤔...
I jumped in this video the moment I saw it. First off this video is so cool and funny in the beginning. Especially with your video editor posing as your partner 😂 (had a laugh)
So sorry the show didn’t go as planned. It would have been super amazing.
But the idea of making a work in one day, almost seems impossible. You compressed 2 months into one day. You’re a Hero.
Have a nice day Jono and your amazing team
Wow ❤
It doesn't speak for Keys that she told you your artwork would be presented in a fantastic way on the huge stage and live, etc, but then not doing so.
It seems like she was trying to bait you with that particular promise, knowing full well that it wasn't going to happen. Well-known people know they can get away with it, especially with artists who are ambitious and talented enough to know they belong at the top of their genre, but just haven't quite made it. So she definitely owes you.
And you are very forgiving. 😉
Did you know ahead of time that there was other artists that were contacted ❓ It seems unfair that you didn't make the livestream.
Oh my gawwwwwwwwwwd you are sooooooooo talented. Just my humble opinion here… I would send Alicia the finished art as requested….but I would insist she watch the attached VIDEO OF HOW MUCH TIME-ENERGY-WORK- that went into it. 😳
But it’s still pretty cool that Alicia is a fan of your art. ☺️
I'm trying hard to learn technical drawing like you. I am a big fan of you from Indonesia 9:31
I'm waiting for the new video and drawing 😢
This video is meant to be motivational but I am not motivated🤣
That voice at the back of my head cannot even help me agree it will take less than a week
2 months compression into 2 days. I would turn down most likely
I wanted a Masterpiece 💐🙋🪞🕯️🖌️🎨
💚💚💚
What I want to know is where did you get the surface you lay your art paper on?
Hey when you draw you usually draw while standing. Why do you do that? And what way should I position my back to prevent pain.
This was great! But I have to admit, I'm so empathetic, I was nearly hyperventilating just listening to this story!!
This is why AI will never replace artists
Don't get me wrong, people are special but the unnecessary restrictions of the request shows complete lack of you and your work! I hope next time some other talent or big name gets excited about you! and your work! That you assess the requirements of your average and know you must do it within your own boundaries, giving time to your own standards. If everyone wants a piece of your action then you're worth waiting for !!!!! give them the realistic date for completion and leave it with them x
I love the phrase "pressure makes diamonds! Isn't that the truth😅
And did he get paid for 2 months of work? Or is "the exposure" the pay 😠
@@sledgehammer-productions I know what you mean. If you get more celebrity work from it, you know that it was worthwhile, but if you don’t get work from it, then it just leaves you feeling used. I have been in this boat and it’s not pretty.
Damn, the queen herself tho👍🏻
Hey Alicia, i have an idea. Can you make a whole new CD by sunday? Tnx. These people.
So, do you use a projector to trace the outlines onto the paper? Nobody ever talks about that step, much less shows a clip of themselves doing it.
❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Just discovered you. WOW! You sir are a Beast! How many hours did you put into the actual drawing? I just finished a piece (pointillism) of/for a (well known) Late night TV Host and I have 15 hours in that. I know what it's like to be consumed by a piece.
