I’m launching two fine art networks on social media for artists sharing a common interest and love for Cincinnati and Chicago. This will be a great place to connect with some of the area’s leading artists as well as tap into the latest events.
This little guy was enjoying our new feeder. He’s definitely the biggest one yet, but still so small. It’s just awesome to watch how these little guys fly in every direction at lightning speed. Time to get the camera out again this evening and just post up. Hope you enjoy the shot! JJ 
This photo may turn into a painting one day. I haven’t done too many bird paintings over the years, but here’s one I worked on a year or so ago of a Red-Tailed Hawk, which is now on display at Seed Strategy. Stay tuned, a hummingbird painting may be in your near future.
This photo was captured during the sunset in Union, Kentucky. I was out on a scooter ride and saw this beautiful horse just standing in the field glowing in the sunlight. I’ve already completed and sold one painting inspired by the reference photo which you can check out here. Looking forward to starting a new painting in the next few weeks, stay tuned.
Here’s another painting of the Cincinnati Skyline by Jeff Johns and Colin Daugherty, JJCD Collaborations™ This painting is titled Bluffs View Cincinnati Skyline because the view is nestled up in The Bluffs, this lovely little neighborhood nestled up on a hill in Park Hills, Kentucky.
This painting is 24″ x 48″ acrylic on canvas and is sure to make a statement in your living room. For pricing or additional information give me a ring. 859.630.9657
I really enjoy capturing photos of horses, whether their just chilling on a farm or the worlds top thoroughbreds racing around a course. This photo depicts a moment in time at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky. My passion for capturing just that right moment in time for these beautiful animals truly comes to life once these photos inspire my next series of equestrian-based paintings.
If interested in checking out any of my horse paintings here are two of my favorites: Kentucky Thoroughbreds and Down the Stretch
When directing your brand or business, do you ever feel like you’re running a never-ending race, constantly pushing farther and faster just to keep up? Except, as soon as you’re only a few feet away from the finish line, it moves further, and the race goes on another day.
Join Seed Strategy’s SVP and Director of Innovation, Rolando Archila for an inspiring pep talk on keeping your goals in sight and crossing the finish line with a winning time. Because innovation is more than just a journey—it’s a race.
Click through it, download it, whatever you like. Oh yeah… I had the pleasure of designing this piece too! Hope you enjoy! Jeff Johns

This commissioned black and white painting of Cincinnati is brought to you by JJCD Collaborations™ Jeff Johns and Colin Daugherty unite on canvas to bring you this extra wide painting of Cincinnati.
Proud to work on Seed’s latest edition of The Accelerator which is all about innovation.
Whether you listen to analyst calls, read the front page of The Journal or attend an annual company meeting, one thing is clear: now more than ever, innovation is top of mind for companies, investors and consumers alike. And with long-term planning likely underway, our guess is there’s quite a bit of innovation talk in your world as well.
So it seems timely that this edition of The Accelerator focuses on innovation.
Spend a few minutes with The Accelerator: Innovation Edition and you will learn:
A nice shout out by The Steersmen, a Chicago based band who used one of my paintings for their album art. Check out their website to see more! JJ

Here’s a transcript from The Steersmen Site.
This post is about the neo-impressionist painter Jeff Johns, who was kind enough to let us use his acrylic painting of the Roebling suspension bridge for the album art of our album. You can find much of his work here.
“An artist is paid not for his labor but for his vision.”
— James Whistler
This past winter I spent a lot of time doing things related to our album:
• Checking on final mixes
• Finding a mastering engineer
• Pulling out my hair because we couldn’t find art that matched our music
Suddenly, by the grace/pure-randomness of the internet, the latter problem was solved.
I came across an artist named Jeff Johns on twitter. After following him I was immediately intrigued by the color-schemes that he used on his acrylic paintings. A lot of vibrant colors against a black background, which is exactly the type of painting we tried (I emphasize the word “tried”) to simulate on our ep cover here:
Many of his paintings matched up with my fondness for urban areas, light reflections, and bridges. It was perfect. I shot him a message asking to use one of his paintings and he couldn’t have been a nicer artist to work with.
Here’s the final design.
