Jonny Detiger Makes Good Art

One of the great things about living in New York City is that you’re constantly exposed to amazing people. It’s really freaking hard to live in a city where just getting your groceries home can involve almost getting run over, getting in arguments with people, and having your arms go numb from carrying all that weight. This kind of difficult living has led to the saying, “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere,” and it also weeds out the people who thought it might be neat-o to live here but really aren’t cut out for it. The people who remain, then, are generally resilient and emboldened by truly interesting talents, drives, and ambitions. One such New Yorker is artist Jonny Detiger, who came to the Big Apple by way of the Netherlands. His work is intricate, involves the use of many different media, and inspires this New York resident tremendously. I insist you watch this video of him now, and then immediately visit his website at JonnyDetiger.com. To top it off: He’s not only extremely talented and prolific, but he’s also extremely nice. Enjoy!
