JEREMY BURKS

I grew up an only child, in the industrial part of Ohio, mostly just reading and drawing.

I am primarily a self-taught artist. My formative influences were days spent exploring the scrap yard where my father worked and summers roaming the Dayton Art Institute. I was in turn obsessed with: mythology, magic, historical piracy, horror and mystery novels, fantasy, science fiction, comic books, heavy metal, hip-hop and punk rock. Not that much has changed.

I graduated from Antioch College with a degree in film. Afterward, I lived in a bunch of places (but often New Jersey), working in various capacities in fine art, film, and design. For over a decade, I have lived and worked in Austin, Texas.
