Art, lacrosse and fishing have obviously taken me to many far off places in my life. Whether it’s opening a new exhibit at an art gallery, or a championship lacrosse game or catching a giant marlin, I’ve seen it, done it and lived it up. I try to document every moment of every place I go, so I bring a video camera along with me. I have fun doing everything I do and I want to bring everyone along for the ride. That’s why I enjoy presenting and hosting my own adventures. The videos you will see on this site show me at fun locations like an art gallery in Santa Monica, a dog park in Los Angeles and at Camden Yards back home in Baltimore. You should also check out some of the activities on the videos like shopping at the only surf store in Baltimore, learning how to be an undertaker at a funeral home and interviewing director Peter Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary, Fever Pitch) in a shady back alley. So stay tuned, watch the videos and hopefully I can show you something you’ve never seen before.
Visual Art Bio
Tommy johnson | LAX Artist Visual Art Bio Video
Tommy’s art is described as raw, ecletic, powerful and visceral. His
strong brush strokes and use of vibrant colors create pieces that are both
realistic and abstract. He uses various mediums from acrylic paints to
broken glass. His subjects include natural landscapes, still life, body
forms and athletics, including his beloved lacrosse. His most prominent
pieces include "The Power of Family", depicting a lacrosse team huddled
solemnly in prayer and "Women of Color", an homage to the female form.
Well known collectors of his work include many famous athletes and entertainers. Tommy’s work can be viewed on his Official Website at TPJArt.com. His work can also be viewed and purchased at various high end art stores in Southern California.
Entertainment Bio
Tommy’s resume goes beyond lacrosse and art. He was a print model in national ad campaigns for Budweiser, JCPenny and Washington Mutual. He is currently filming the lacrosse themed film, "The King of Spring". He plays the lead character Jarret Lang, a gifted lacrosse player in the twilight of his career.
The producers of the film were taken by Tommy’s lacrosse skills, his humility and his charisma. They believe that his authentic athletic and acting talents will make him the perfect newcomer to carry the film. Look for "The King of Spring" to become the iconic film for the sport of lacrosse.
