Ray Jones Jr. is a pencil artist from Little Rock, Arkansas, specializing in hyperrealism with graphite and charcoal. Drawing has always been his first passion and natural talent, and his work goes beyond replication, seeking to capture the emotion, depth, and spirit within every detail.

A former professional basketball player, Jones draws on the discipline, perseverance, and sense of movement he gained from athletics to inform his artistic practice.

While balancing his career in education with his creative work, Jones continues to develop a body of art that reflects both technical mastery and emotional resonance. His drawings invite viewers to connect not only with what they see, but with the feeling and story behind each piece.
