Jeff lives on a strict diet of cereal and Thai iced tea with an occasional chocolate donut. Despite his poor dietary choices he has been pumping out colorfully bold paintings since before you had an email address and carried a phone in your pocket. His obsessive painting efforts have earned him the title "Best Artist In SLO County" by SLO New TImes Readers for 2010-2013. These accolades haven't gotten to his head or inflated his ego. Just kidding, he totally thinks he's a rockstar. When not painting or making digital doodles on the iPad he can be found walking around town with his family taking way too many photos with his iphone, riding his watermelon colored bicycle, or laying on his couch reading a book when he should be doing house chores like replacing the leaky skylight.

Oh, he blogs too. http://www.jeffclaassen.com/blog His blog is either a life-style blog in the broadest sense of the term or possibly the most accurate sense. We're not quite sure. It's a vague term, but we use it here because the blog certainly focuses on his particular lifestyle. He updates about three times a week with posts featuring artwork, photography, random musings about life, embarrassing his children when they get out of line, inspiration for DIY businesses, etc.

Thanks for stopping by!
