Jason E. Collinge

Comments About Jason E. Collinge's Work - Written and Visual

"There exists a profound curiosity in [Jason's] work.  The ability to meander from the literary to visual arts is impeccable.  Jason's dedication to his studies has been so diverse and purposive; immersing himself into each new culture clearly broadened his artistic journey.  He is a true Canadian 'Renaissance Man'.  Put him on your rising stars list!"

Lisa Stadnykova, Director, Writer, Producer – Los Angeles, California, United States of America



"I have received many praises about Jason's work..."

Renata Mello, Editora, Rights Manager, Novo Seculo, Sao Paulo, Brasil



Jason's web-site is "...an inspired meeting place to the multiple directions creativity takes us in verse, genre and true visual grit.  Jason Collinge is a Renaissance man of the 21st century."

Keven Spenst, Poet (more writing here), Vancouver, BC, Canada



"The concept [of Highwick: The Mage-King and the Thief] has many worthwhile elements and seems like it draws the reader in quickly."

Rose Burkoff of the Carolyn Swayze Literary Agency Ltd., White Rock, BC, Canada



"I've been admiring Jason's artworks for some years now.  I find them fascinating.  Favourites come and go, but I find I'm always drawn to the ones with only two or three colours, like 'The Girl, March 7th, 2015'."

Tim Strang, Ex-Marketing and Operations Manager, Hills Native Art, Vancouver, BC, Canada



"I have watched Jason's work progress over the last ten years, and I am impressed with what he is doing - not only as a visual artist, but also as a writer.  I love the Portrait Gallery, and the sketch of Mifune Toshiro makes me want to find a copy of Rashomon and watch it again."

Ken Lawrence, Educator, Vancouver, BC, Canada

James Doc Beaulieu, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada



"He [Jason] was my teacher for a short time when I was there (Vancouver).  He is one of the few who makes a difference in this school (ILSC).  I spent very little time in that school and only a few days with him, but I remember with longing what I lived in the school for 30 days and especially with this teacher.  He was the best teacher for me because his classes were very creative."

Patricia Ramos, Salvador, Bahia, Brasil

"Jason Collinge is an artist with a vivid imagination and good technical skill, so too his literary ability, and capacity to teach students a second language [...], having mastered Japanese.  As a serious artistic and thinking Canadian, he's striving to find a way to help us find a new way of relating to and arranging our world and to stimulate our collective rejection of the Old and search for the New!"
