I'm Gareth "Gruff" Jones, Gruff being a nickname I picked up in my teens, I am one of the country's leading motorsport artists, specializing in motorcycle racing paintings and prints, from both modern and classic eras.
Because I have been closely involved with motorcycle racing for the last 35 years, I understand what conveys excitement in a motorcycle action painting.
I competed in road racing on short circuits as well as road circuits from 1976-1997 after two years of motorcycle grass-track racing.
I have been a self-employed artist for more than 25 years and since 1998 my daughter, Carolyne, has been working with me.
Some examples of my work are owned by stars past and present. The list includes Valentino Rossi, Joey Dunlop, Chris Walker, Troy Bayliss, Noriyuki Haga and Carl Fogarty to name but a few as well as grassroots racers.
I am able to work from your own photograph or create something more unique from reference shots.
I have a wide selection of bikes and riders available, to date I have painted around 1000 original works. Indeed, some of our most valued customers have taken pleasure in collecting my work over a number of years. Many of my prints are limited editions, usually below 500 in number, and are signed by the riders themselves.
Although I specialize in motorcycles, I have taken other commissions with the added benefit of 'See before you pay'.
