Jason Edmiston is a prominent Canadian artist and illustrator widely recognized for his mastery of traditional acrylic painting and his profound influence on the world of pop culture art. Based in Toronto, he has cultivated a reputation as a preeminent figure in the commercial art scene by blending technical precision with a deep appreciation for cinematic history. His work is characterized by an incredible level of detail and a vivid use of color that brings fictional characters to life with a startling sense of realism. 

A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design, Edmiston began his career in the mid nineties, initially working on various editorial and advertising projects. However, he eventually found his niche by focusing on portraits of iconic monsters, villains, and heroes from film and television. His unique style often pays homage to the classic horror aesthetic of the twentieth century, capturing the subtle textures of skin, fabric, and supernatural features through fine brushwork. 

One of his most celebrated endeavors is the series titled Eyes Without a Face. In this collection, he creates life sized, tightly cropped paintings focusing exclusively on the eyes of famous characters, challenging viewers to identify cultural icons through minimal visual information. Beyond his gallery work, Edmiston is a sought after collaborator for major studios and brands, frequently producing limited edition posters and packaging art for toys and collectibles. His dedication to traditional mediums in a digital age has solidified his status as a master craftsman whose work remains essential for collectors and movie enthusiasts globally.
