About me

I am Jonathan (or Jonny) Butcher the gate keeper of Private View, I am searching for new and exciting art. I hope that you will use this art in original and thought provoking ways.

Art, illustration, photography, animation, film and video are essential for the survival of the human race. Through art we can change peoples thoughts and ideas and create a global trend to repair the damage we have done over the past 139 years.

Lets cut out the chatter and hit the retina, lets shoot bright colours and lights into every dark corner of our forgiving planet. If we continue to burn oil, pump toxic gas into our unique atmosphere and pour acid and pollution into our pure clear oceans, everything we have built, will have been for nothing. When you get to the top, if you have destroyed the beautiful view, then there was no point at all in climbing so high.
