Jon Reddick’s Hidden Talent is Hiding in Plain Sight
If you’ve ever stared at a Jon Reddick album cover and thought “this feels very personal.” That’s because it is personal. Jon painted it himself!
Here are some examples:
Before his songs reached millions, Reddick was already painting—creating oil-on-canvas works inspired, as he says, “by the music that moves him.” His website showcases everything from richly textured abstracts to pop-culture portraits, including Spider-Man and a Tom Petty piece he created for his friend Mac Powell from Third Day.
Reddick’s bio describes his visual art as “multilayered both literally, with a variety of textures, colors and shapes, as well as metaphorically.” The connection between his two creative outlets—music and painting—is inseparable. “Jon feels that the two gifts, music and painting, go hand in hand for him, each helping the other come into focus and come to life.”
Each piece in his growing collection “reverberates with the rhythms of his unique style and incredible artistry.” Fans who know Reddick for his heartfelt worship songs will recognize that same sense of emotion, spirituality, and movement in his paintings.
His art continues to evolve, combining faith, creativity, and storytelling in a way that feels both grounded and imaginative. Reddick’s is available for commissions through his official site.

Kevin Max: Abstract Figurative Meets Primitive Pop
Kevin Max, who has always been known for his style, poetry, and boundary-pushing creativity, has found a new canvas for expression. Max isn’t new to art direction. In his days in dcTalk he was the primary designer for the iconic Jesus Freak album cover, celebrating its 30th anniversary this month.
“Abstract Figurative meets Primitive Pop.” Max’s bio notes that he began painting through art therapy and soon realized he had a natural connection to the visual arts, developed through years of travel and creative exploration. He calls his own process “visual punk rock.” Known for his expressive spontaneity, Kevin’s artwork, like his music, carries both edge and emotion—a creative extension of the same artistic impulse that’s always defined him.

Jimmy Abegg: Still Seeing Beauty
Few artists embody the link between faith, music, and visual art quite like Jimmy Abegg. A veteran of Rich Mullins’ Ragamuffin Band and Charlie Peacock’s Acoustic Trio, Abegg has spent his life creating—whether through paintbrushes, guitars, or cameras.
Born and raised in western Nebraska, Abegg says the flat landscape of his youth “shaped [him] artistically and taught [him] to see beauty in simple things.” His biography recounts an adventurous early life: hopping freight trains, hitchhiking across states, and chasing creative inspiration from the high prairie grass of Nebraska to the coast of California.
Even as macular degeneration has taken much of his sight, Abegg continues to paint. “Some of my favorite pieces have been created during this time,” he shares. His art remains rooted in “curiosity, whimsy and simple beauty, with a healthy dose of train-hopping, carefree adventure.”
Whether abstract or figurative, his work reflects a lifetime of faith, freedom, and artistic passion.
