About the Artist
James "Jay P." Preston I have had an affinity for visual art, from a very young age. What began as simple pencil and magic marker drawing has blossomed into custom painting and photo-realistic portraiture. I attended and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Graphic Design & Advertising, from Morgan State University. Shortly after graduation, in 2004, I founded Xistential Design, focusing on branding and web design. Several years later, I took a chance, picked up a palette and acrylics and painted my first post-graduate portrait, birthing Lyfe of Jay P Paintings. Always looking for a new challenge, the streetwear brand VAGABOND Collection, was created in 2015. I am one half of the dynamic duo that created the brand that embraces the youthful, nomadic lifestyle of creative types globally.
