As a surreal artist fascinated by optical illusions, I draw inspiration from icons like Salvador Dali and the illustrator from the movie Labyrinth. Currently, I am experimenting with different concepts and subject matter, looking to refine my detailing over time. The images I create are highly conceptual, influenced by the various fantasy entertainment I've enjoyed throughout the years. Some of these artworks carry deep personal meaning, while others are simply compelling visuals that resonate with a sense of wonder.
I've been living the blue collar life for most of my time in this realm. Always I felt the call to make art, particularly in the realm of fantasy entertainment. I'm only lazy to the point that I'm making money working within a corporate environment. Unfortunately, something has always been missing. So from now on, I'm going to make art, and I'm going to try to showcase it on this website.
This website is called Groady Toady, as in Groady Toady Studios. My name is Jesse Plantz, and I've always had a powerful imagination and my own artistic style. I've always been distracted by work, school, and life in general.
Recently, I've decided to paint a group of darker paintings that incorporate optical illusions. I am having so much fun with this project that I decided to explore this innate talent that has always been present but not practiced. As a surreal artist, I aim to create pieces that captivate and intrigue.
My intention is that in my free time, outside of work, I will dive deep into this hobby. The art that I create will be showcased on this website. Hopefully, if all goes well, you guys will enjoy the images, and I will be able to entertain. Because I will have to maintain a full-time job, I anticipate that I won't be able to roll out the images in a timely manner. However, I am fortunate enough to have a platform with which to showcase the canvases that I have created.
