We had the good fortune of connecting with Jeff Lung and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jeff, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
The number one habit that has lead to all my success is discipline. Just show up. Even if you don’t feel like – because a lot of the time you won’t – just show up. Do the thing. Don’t think about doing it. Just do it. Make an effort. Be consistent. Show up and the work will get done.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My style is what I call figurative abstract. It’s full of movement, action and emotion. My background and core artistic passions lie in traditional figure drawing, gesture drawing and portraiture. With these as my base, I began to implement my doodling obsession (something that dates back to my elementary school days) alongside the figure work and portraiture. I am constantly going back and forth between the two disciplines to create something truly unique. Visually my works could be described as psychedelic, which is totally on par with my goals. I love filling spaces with shapes in ways that look cool and often the end result is pretty trippy.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely take them out on Lake Conroe for some fun in the sun! After creating great memories on the lake, some traditional Mexican cuisine and Seven Leguas would be on tap. Of course, a trip to a new place would never be complete either without going for a long jog and a trip to the local art museum or gallery. Must visit art meccas for me are the Ardest Gallery, the Conroe Art League and the Woodlands Art Gallery and Studios.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents deserve credit in that they have always supported my endeavors, no matter how crazy or outlandish. In recent days, my dad in particular, has been very helpful and supportive in helping me get my art career off the ground by providing me with the tools and resources I need to go out and do the very best I can.
