from forgotten time chords in dusty places
to unknown realms hiding in space,
Jonathan Morrill creates work born out of
intense concentration and effortless thoughtlessne...

Jonathan Morrill's natural-born illustrative
and creative abilities have always been supported
by his family, friends, and teachers,
as far back as he can remember.

One of the first encouragements began when he was
in the third grade at Newmarket Elementary School,
was with the Holt Reinhart and Company's recognition of Jonathan's illustrations for a class science project entitled "Reptiles and Amphibians".
The New York publishing firm's corresponded with Morrill through the faculty at
Newmarket Elementary School,
and Jonathan received letters, and instructional books on light and color and techniques related to illustrating.
It was around this time when Jonathan began illustrating for the Newmarket Times,
with a weekly comic strip.
Throughout his Junior and Senior High School career, Jonathan won many area contests and awards for illustrations that covered most high school events, yearbooks, theatre groups, and even local businesses.
