The Hand That Points at Me: Twenty-Five Years of Herotogen offers an immersive look into a multidisciplinary practice that blurs the boundaries between fine art and theatrical design. This beautifully curated volume brings together a remarkable collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and set designs, capturing the breadth and versatility of Jacob Whitmore's creative vision.
From bold canvases alive with color and texture to delicate sketches that reveal the first sparks of an idea, each work reflects an artist deeply engaged in exploring form and meaning. Sculptural pieces transform everyday materials into evocative objects, while stage designs exemplify a keen understanding of space, atmosphere, and narrative. Whether crafting a single figure or an entire environment, Jacob Whitmore wields every medium with the same sense of curiosity and intention.
Richly illustrated with over 200 images, the book traces the artist's journey across decades of innovation.
More than a monograph, The Hand That Points at Me celebrates the artist's commitment to transforming ideas into experiences-whether on canvas, in three-dimensional space, or across the theatrical stage. Each page affirms the belief that art can transcend traditional categories, inviting audiences to engage with beauty, story, and emotion in new ways.
Perfect for collectors, designers, students, and anyone inspired by boundary-pushing creativity, this book is both an essential reference and a stunning testament to the power of multidisciplinary art.

About the Author
Jacob Whitmore: Art as Awareness and Transformation
Los Angeles, CA - Jacob Whitmore is a self-taught artist whose emotionally charged work blends traditional and contemporary techniques to explore themes of healing, identity, and inner transformation. His vivid, surreal images reflect psychological archetypes-the inner child, the shadow self, the divine-and invite viewers into deeply personal, often spiritual narratives.
Born in Southern California, Whitmore draws from a rich cultural lineage. His mother's Trinidadian roots bring a mystical, Caribbean influence, while his father's Western perspective offers critical insight into cultural structures. These forces converge in his multidisciplinary practice, which includes painting, drawing, sculpture, and immersive installations.
Whitmore's background in set design for theater and film enhances the cinematic quality of his work. A pivotal moment in his life came in 1998 when a fire destroyed his early artwork. From that loss, he co-founded Herotogen Art, a creative collective with musician Steve Weber that emphasizes art as a tool for connection and recovery.
In 2002, Whitmore began his journey in sobriety-a transformation that brought new clarity to his art and his life. Embracing fatherhood, he found even greater direction and purpose in stepping forward. His work since has reflected this evolution, expressing resilience, redemption, and emotional truth.
Influenced by artists like Hieronymus Bosch and filmmakers such as Ingmar Bergman, Whitmore's art has been exhibited across the U.S. and internationally. His visionary approach turns personal experience into a universal call for awareness, healing, and self-discovery.
