For Jeremy, drawing is analogous to storytelling. He
approaches every piece as a storyteller using imagery to engage his audience and tell a tale. He
enjoys the freedom that his medium offers; drawing presents limitless possibilities and allows
him complete control over the scenes he creates. As an artist and a storyteller, he uses his acute
sense of light, perspective, and detail to compose intriguing and complex narratives.
Ultimately, Jeremy views his art in an unsentimental and straightforward way. It is simply what
he does. “Drawing is my job,” he says. “It is not a hobby. It is not always fun. It is work.”
“But there is no other work I would rather be doing.”
