Jono Dry is a self-taught South African artist based in Cape Town. He uses his art as an antidote to his ADD and as a way to express himself and his emotions in ways that words have always failed him and ultimately fail most people. After over a decade of dedication and hardships trying to make it as an artist Jono is now becoming a respected figure in the art community and has amassed a large following on social media over a number of different platforms where he receives a lot of support from amazed viewers, aspiring artists and dedicated fans from all walks of life.

In this interview, Jono discusses his uniquely adapted and beautifully expressed mental health inspired graphite-based drawing style with us. He talks about where he finds his inspiration, how he conceptualises his projects and explores some of the harder periods of his life and career with us.
