Jonathan Grimes – Artist, blogger and designer
I am family man with 3 children, I love to paint & draw and I am a graphic designer by trade. Working alongside my colleagues I supply and bring you the graphics you see on a daily basis when viewing this blog and RUBooks. I also help run the RUBooks blog and I regularly posts to keep the blog filled with interesting material, free projects and snippets from around the internet. I am interested to hear what you think about our posts so don’t hesitate to leave a comment and we will respond as soon as we can.
