Jed's illustration was awarded by American Illustration and photography reportage seen on PBS. A seasoned traveler, he has lived in the Pacific Islands, amongst the Redwoods of Northern California and currently resides in Brooklyn, where he works full time as a graphic artist and designer. Much of his inspiration is pulled through personal experience, extensive research and a well-worn library card. These unique interests crafted Jed into an effective communicator with a sophisticated visual style driven by his diverse background. An artist with a preference for illustration, a skilled photographer who loves to draw and an experienced musician who once pursued writing. Always in the thick of it, either drawing or doing it. He's raced cars at 180 mph, jumped out of a perfectly built airplane, climbed El Capitan, surfed the North Shore and scrapped alongside The Dark Knight and The Amazing Spider-Man.

I have chosen to release my painting under a Creative Commons license. I believe that art can and should play a role in engaging and informing the public about the significance of this project. I feel that the finished painting captures the aesthetic essence of the telescope and the mood of awe I felt within myself and the other artists around me during this experience.

Painting the James Webb from direct observation was a lot like my plein air painting experiences, because of the time limits and busy atmosphere of the viewing area. It also forces me to distill my subject to its most important essence. However, it imbues the finished work with a sense of immediacy and energy that for me, can be lost when working from photos in the studio. It can be a challenge, because it means creating a painting within a limited period of time before light and atmospheric conditions change, as well as coping with all sorts of weather and distractions. One component of my artistic practice is 'plein air' painting, which means painting the landscape from direct observation. During the Artist Event at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on November 2, 2016, I was able to complete this 22' x 15' watercolor painting of the James Webb Space Telescope from direct observation over the course of about two hours.
