John Eliason, known by his artistic alias Isbjørn, is a visual artist who specializes in creating stunning pieces using watercolor and digital media. By seamlessly blending these two mediums, he is able to produce artwork that is both expressive and precise, showcasing his unique artistic vision. Drawing inspiration from years of personal exploration and creating art for his family, John's work is characterized by a deep appreciation for color, texture, and storytelling. Influenced by his mother's own painting practice, he has developed an artistic perspective that values observation and subtlety, often finding meaning in the smallest of details.

Through his studio, Afterdrop, John offers unlimited edition giclée prints of select pieces, meticulously crafted to maintain the emotional depth and intricate details of the original artwork. Starting as watercolors or mixed-media drawings, many of his creations undergo a digital transformation to enhance their expressive qualities. Instead of providing written narratives, John's artwork itself tells a story, encouraging viewers to interpret and connect with the pieces on a personal level. Additionally, the collection features digitized works by John's mother, fostering a dialogue between generations through art.

The name Afterdrop and the emblem of the polar bear Isbjørn symbolize themes of resilience, reflection, and finding beauty in moments of transition. By purchasing prints from Afterdrop Studio, art enthusiasts can bring a touch of this quiet beauty into their homes or offices. Each piece is a testament to John's artistic talent and dedication to preserving the essence of his original creations, making them the perfect choice for those seeking unique and meaningful decor.
