I love finding creative people who inspire me and I’m excited to share a new find with you today. Meet Jason Naylor, author of Live Life Colorfully and a really cool artist whose mission is “to spread color and positivity across the globe.”

I had the chance to review an advance copy of his new book before it hit the market and I loved it. It’s a small book and a quick read, but it’s filled with colorful eye-candy pieces of inspiration and a list of ideas to bring more color into your life. I’ve already done some of them (like filled my pen drawer with colorful pens) and I still want to tackle some more - like organizing the apps on my phone by color. This is a book that will go on my shelf next to other favorites like Austin Kleon’s books to remind me to live life creatively.

I was really interested to find out that Jason Naylor is from Salt Lake City (me too!). Here’s a little more about his background:

About Jason Naylor:

Jason Naylor is an artist and graphic designer originally from Salt Lake City, Utah. He has made his name by way of his inventive and multi-hued murals, as well as graphic design pieces and collaborations with companies such as Coach, Sephora, and Pepsi. His work has received global recognition, including the Golden Novum Design Award, and two CLIO Bronze medals. He was also named by Bumble as one of the 100 Most Inspiring New Yorkers.

After receiving his BFA in graphic design from Brigham Young University in Utah, Jason moved to New York City where he began his career in MAC Cosmetic’s Creative Department. Jason now runs his own brand, “Jason Naylor Studio” where he continues to share his positivity through murals, graphic pieces, and collaborations with New York City communities, as well as popular brands.

An activity I like to do when I find a book that inspires me is to pick some of my favorite quotes from the book and turn them into word art using apps like WordSwag. I couldn’t resist getting colorful with these!

I hope you will take a few minutes and explore Jason’s website and Instagram. You can also find his new book on Amazon. It will definitely make your day brighter!
