Jason D'Aquino is a miniaturist that specializes in creating
pieces that are usually no larger in size than one inch by one
inch.  Many of his pieces are drawn on objects that he comes
across on his travels and he relies on these items to inspire
him rather than purchasing conventional canvasses. His graphite
illustrations on the inside of matchbook covers are amazingly
detailed and proportionate, despite being created on such a
small space.  He has an exceptional hand for precision and many
of his pieces are retro-inspired or referential to pop culture.
The artist has etched everything on the matchbook covers from
typewriters to pin-up girls to scenes from classic cult films
such as 'The Shining.'  The bite-sized work of Jason D'Aquino is
interesting and insightful, without being overly contrived.
