I finished this piece in January of 2026 but just took some photos yesterday. I used my custom compound, newsprint, cardboard, Styrofoam and some elbow grease, as my dad used to say. Acrylics were used in the final stage. Toxic Beauty is 22 inches high, 7.75 inches wide and 5 inches deep. It's what Original Jones Art calls Original Jones Art here in northwest Austin, Texas.

HE LOOKS VERY UNHAPPY. YOU'VE CAPTURED HIM PERFECTLY. GREAT COLORS ALSO CHARLES.

Artist Reply: I attempted to give the piece a rather androgynous look in the face with those overly puffed lips as an obvious clue, Joanie. But other than that, 'he' is rather desexualized. I thought the expression more expressionless than unhappy. BUT I've lived with it for awhile. Thanks for the nice comment, Joanie. And thanks again for the photo of the sculpture. It was most interesting. :).

This is magnificent. Beautiful work!

Charles Jones
Artist Reply: Thank you, Ricky! This kind of work keeps me mentally fit and socially outcast. There's nothing like it. But you also know the benefits inherent in doing 'the work' Hope all is great in your vicinity. :)

Quite far out of mainstream. Colors and shapes, especially buttons, yield lots of irony to me

Charles Jones
Artist Reply: Nikolay, you're not saying that the idea of beauty is becoming more and more plastic and clownish these days? Hmmm. You could be on to something there. :)

Artist Reply: Thanks, Dave. It is pretty stable save for that skinny neck. ;)
