John David Brown is a visual artist, illustrator, and creative director whose work celebrates storytelling, imagination, and joy. Working under the name JDB3ART, he creates whimsical paintings, illustrations, and paper goods inspired by folklore, literature, theater, and the quiet magic of everyday life.

 

John’s artistic style blends playful characters, bold shapes, and storybook color palettes with a deep love of narrative. Many of his pieces begin as visual interpretations of literary quotes or imagined moments—scenes that feel as though they belong to a larger tale. His work often carries a sense of warmth, curiosity, and gentle humor, inviting viewers to slow down and reconnect with wonder.

 

In addition to his visual art practice, John works full-time as a creative director in community theatre, where storytelling, collaboration, and imagination are central to his work. This theatrical influence shapes much of his art, infusing it with character, emotion, and a sense of place.

 

Through originals, prints, stickers, cards, and illustrated objects, John hopes to create art that feels welcoming and accessible—art that tells stories, sparks smiles, and reminds people that joy belongs in everyday life.
