I love art that expresses sincerity, emotion, intellect and creativity. Rosemerry Whatola Trommer's poem and Jim Cokas's design combine to create art dancing in flight. Two gifted artists whose work I will be exploring more deeply. A rare find.

About jcokas

Sales 697

On Etsy since 2009

Combining poetry, typography and art...

The work in my shop is divided into two categories: commissioned work and personal work. The commissioned work consists of 33 unique letterpress prints that combine graphic illustrations with poems from some of the most talented poets writing today. They are limited edition prints, each one signed by the poet. They are collectable, affordable, and look beautiful framed.

Under the category of personal work are prints and artwork that combine text (that I have written) with my own graphic/photographic imagery. This body of work may take the form of a print, book or sculpture or some hybrid of those forms. They are typically produced in small editions or one-of-kind pieces.

I am interested in taking on new commissioned work if I think it’s a suitable project in terms of scope and if the budget is right. In the meantime enjoy what's here and feel free to let me know what you think. If you take the time to mark my page as a “favorite” you will receive a special discount coupon as well as be the first to hear about new projects and work.
