A blend of realistic and surrealistic imagery, it often features cartoonish characters with references to childhood classics. Other themes include windows and mirrors, creating a landscape that is composed of memories and reflections. There&rsquo;s also a heavy dose of humor in his work, a sort of tongue in cheekiness that makes for an ironic effect.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Based in California, Jupin is mostly known for his paintings but also sculpts and draws. In March 2017, he published his first book by Stolen Books titled &ldquo;DOUBLE CHECK YOU\u2019RE ALONE&rdquo;.\n\n\n\n</p><blockquote class='\"instagram-media\"' data-instgrm-captioned='\"\"' data-instgrm-permalink='\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Brk0f0iFaIU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\"' data-instgrm-version='\"13\"' style='\"' background: border:0 border-radius:3px box-shadow:0 rgba margin: max-width:540px min-width:326px padding:0 width:99.375 width:-webkit-calc width:calc><div style='\"padding:16px;\"'> <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.instagram.com%5C/p%5C/Brk0f0iFaIU%5C/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading%5C%22" style='\"' background: line-height:0 padding:0 text-align:center text-decoration:none width:100 target='\"_blank\"' rel='\"noopener\"'> <div style='\"' display: flex flex-direction: row align-items: center> <div style='\"background-color:' border-radius: flex-grow: height: margin-right: width:> <div style='\"display:' flex flex-direction: column flex-grow: justify-content: center> <div style='\"' background-color: border-radius: flex-grow: height: margin-bottom: width:> <div style='\"' background-color: border-radius: flex-grow: height: width:><div style='\"padding:'> <div style='\"display:block;' height:50px margin:0 auto width:50px><svg width='\"50px\"' height='\"50px\"' viewbox='\"0' version='\"1.1\"' xmlns='\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"' xmlns:xlink='\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\"'><g stroke='\"none\"' stroke-width='\"1\"' fill='\"none\"' fill-rule='\"evenodd\"'><g transform='\"translate(-511.000000,' fill='\"#000000\"'><g><path d='\"M556.869,30.41' c554.814 c553.148 c558.924 c560.59 m541 c535.114 c530.342 c546.887 c551.658 c532.1 c524.886 c549.9 c557.115 m565.378 c565.244 c563.803 c561.058 c557.607 c549.944 c533.003 c525.979 c521.94 c518.846 c517.244 c516.479 c516.448 c516.755 c518.197 c520.942 c524.393 c532.057 c548.997 c556.021 c560.06 c563.154 c564.756 c565.522 c565.552 m570.82 c570.674 c568.659 c564.297 c558.743 c550.169 c532.853 c525.438 c519.376 c514.368 c511.834 c511.035 c511 c511.326 c513.342 c517.703 c523.257 c531.831 c549.148 c556.562 c562.623 c567.633 c570.167 c570.966 c571><div style='\"padding-top:'> <div style='\"' color: font-family:arial font-size:14px font-style:normal font-weight:550 line-height:18px> View this post on Instagram<div style='\"padding:'> <div style='\"display:' flex flex-direction: row margin-bottom: align-items: center><div> <div style='\"background-color:' border-radius: height: width: transform: translatex translatey> <div style='\"background-color:' height: transform: rotate translatex translatey width: flex-grow: margin-right: margin-left:> <div style='\"background-color:' border-radius: height: width: transform: translatex translatey><div style='\"margin-left:'> <div style='\"' background-color: border-radius: flex-grow: height: width:> <div style='\"' width: height: border-top: solid transparent border-left: border-bottom: transform: translatex translatey rotate><div style='\"margin-left:' auto> <div style='\"' width: border-top: solid border-right: transparent transform: translatey> <div style='\"' background-color: flex-grow: height: width: transform: translatey> <div style='\"' width: height: border-top: solid border-left: transparent transform: translatey translatex> <div style='\"display:' flex flex-direction: column flex-grow: justify-content: center margin-bottom:> <div style='\"' background-color: border-radius: flex-grow: height: margin-bottom: width:> <div style='\"' background-color: border-radius: flex-grow: height: width:><p style='\"' color: font-family:arial font-size:14px line-height:17px margin-bottom:0 margin-top:8px overflow:hidden padding:8px text-align:center text-overflow:ellipsis white-space:nowrap><a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.instagram.com%5C/p%5C/Brk0f0iFaIU%5C/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading%5C%22" style='\"' color: font-family:arial font-size:14px font-style:normal font-weight:normal line-height:17px text-decoration:none target='\"_blank\"' rel='\"noopener\"'>A post shared by Aaron Elvis Jupin (@jupescoops) <script async='\"\"' src="%5C%22%5C/%5C/www.instagram.com%5C/embed.js%5C%22"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>With his paintings, an element of play is introduced through optical illusions: &#8220;I usually have an idea that I\u2019ll mock-up in photoshop using an assortment of references,&#8221; Jupin explained in an interview with Juxtapoz, where he shared his creative process. &#8220;But typically, I leave room for chance,&#8221; he admits. &#8220;I like to give myself options in the direction my painting can go.
