There is a sense of esoteria and magic in Jono&#8217;s works; real life models are transformed into elemental deities and simple objects such as flowers, candies and toys become divine and sacred through their relationships with these Gods and Goddesses.<\/p>\n<p>Jono&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@JonoDry\">YouTube<\/a> channel has several hundred beautiful, inspirational and informative videos for you to peruse.
