On a cold November day in 1990, Chuck & George were born on a cracker. While having lunch at Jim’s Diner, UNT art students Brian K Jones and Brian K Scott sat at a table and painted each other’s portraits on saltines. They then declared themselves “Chuck & George”. Brian K. Jones (Chuck) earned a BFA from The University of North Texas in Painting in 1998. Brian K. Scott (George) earned his BFA in Printmaking from the University of North Texas in 1993 and has worked as a freelancing and collaborating artist all his life. Both Jones and Scott were principal artists with the Holton and Associates, as well as founders and artists of Art Services Collective– both companies that offered many art related services such as murals and trompe l'oeil for private clients and designers in Dallas.
Chuck & George have exhibited both separately and collaboratively in numerous exhibitions, including presentations at Arts Fort Worth; The Wrong Store, Marfa, TX; McKinney Avenue Contemporary, Dallas, TX; Southfork Gallery, Memphis, TN; Unit B Gallery, San Antonio, TX; Conduit Gallery, Dallas, TX; Landmark Arts, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX; CentralTrak, Dallas, TX; and the Galveston Arts Center, Galveston, TX. In 2013, they were honored with the 2013 Dallas Observer Mastermind Award. The duo has also organized the Oak Cliff SpeedBump Visual Art Tour since 2000, an annual public tour of artists’ studios, homes, and galleries in the neighborhood that takes place each May.
