Non-Fiction
Discover a vivid landscape of imagination where the human
body is collaged and refashioned with often disparate
industrail elements. Is it a surreal world where the
interplay between man and machine is beautiful, shocking,
grotesque, captivating, and relevant to our times. Young,
award-winning artist Jason Felix began sketching and
drawing extensively at age eleven. Inspired to draw and
create by watching the movie Alien with his father,
Jason Felix's fascination with fantasy, science fiction,
monsters, and creatures grew as he took in such classic
sci-fi films as Conan the Barbarian, Blade
Runner, Star Wars, and Clash of the
Titans. Largely self-taught, he published his own
comic book at age seventeen (sold through Diamond
Distribution), and his portfolio grew exponentially from
there. Salvaged collects Felix's work for the first
time, and contains many new and never-before-seen images.
His style ranges from sci-fi and fantasy to increasingly
grotesque, even disturbing images. Rick Berry, world-
renowned pioneer in digital art, says, "Human beings are
becoming fabulous and strange...and it's happening very
fast. Felix is there. That's where he's looking and for
all the scary bits you can also see the excitement, the
sense of stunning transformation, and beauty. I can't seem
to take my eyes off the weird wonder of his visionary
assumption." Known for his digital photographic
manipulations, Felix's works have been showcased
internationally and have directly inspired numerous
Hollywood projects. He has been involved in visually
establishing computer games such as StarCraft and
the Prince of Persia series.
