When asked about his visual artistry, he says he fell into it.

Don’t call me an artist… ever. I’m still just that thirteen year old kids who thinks the stuff he draws looks cool. –John “Stoney” Cannon

Until very recently, Stoney hadn’t created visual art for more than 30 years. His works today are an extension for his love of music and pop culture. He often uses references of widely known celebrities and music icons, but also locals who he finds inspirational. While some of these locals are renowned, many are friends that he has made along the way. His works have a nostalgic or kitsch feel with an old school comic book flare. They often tell a deeper story than what can be seen at first glance, though many are simply made for fun. You can find more of his work on his social media pages, including Instagram or more about his music on bandcamp.

You can learn visit Augusta & Co. during business hours to see the show. Please join us on Friday, October 13th for a special reception of Stoney and his works from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
