Who Started All This
Artist

Jameson Aitken, founder of Art from Embers, doesn’t just draw — he resurrects. Out of ash and dust, from the deepest charcoaled corners of human emotion, he creates raw, soul-stirring visuals that punch you in the chest and whisper something sacred in your ear.
Every piece is born from the flames — of grief, of passion, of transformation — and drawn with the dust of lived experience. A dirt jumper, gravel rider, gym junkie, and Blink-182 nostalgic, Jameson’s work blends physical grit with emotional gravity. It’s not polished. It’s not filtered. It’s real.
Using charcoal as his weapon of choice, he captures the moments we try to forget and the ones we never want to lose. Whether it’s the haunted beauty of silence or the kinetic chaos of life’s messy middle, his work reflects a deep reverence for impermanence — and the fire it takes to keep going anyway.
He’s not here to “fit in.” He’s here to make you feel something. To remember what it means to be alive. To stare into the smoldering remnants of what was — and see the spark of what could be.
