Throughout his youth, he created stories with brushstrokes, and worlds with colours. Winning the prestigious London Ashurst art competition means that his dreams of becoming a successful artist have come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every painting on his canvas tells a story, a story that all who see his work can experience in exquisite detail. With his success he decides to travel the world to find more inspiration for his art, but there is more to life than being successful, and Jonathan&#8217;s journey forces him to search just as deeply within.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-367\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tompass.co.uk\/?p=367&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-367\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tompass.co.uk\/?p=367&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tompass.co.uk\/?p=367&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tompass.co.uk\/?p=367&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-skype\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-skype-367\" class=\"share-skype sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tompass.co.uk\/?p=367&amp;share=skype\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Skype\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-custom share-custom-minds\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-custom share-custom-minds sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tompass.co.uk\/?p=367&amp;share=custom-1494369120\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Minds\"><span style=\"background-image:url(&quot;http:\/\/media.148apps.com\/icons\/82323440\/82323440_180.jpg&quot;);\"><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Minds (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-367\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tompass.co.uk\/?p=367&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got confirmation that my book Jonathan will be published by Pegasus Publishing on the 25th of June!
