| Bio
A self-described art
school drop-out, Jeff left Northeast Ohio at the age of 17, and
moved to Pittsburgh to attend the Art Institute with
the intention of majoring in commercial art. Instead of
studying and drawing toasters, he joined a hardcore punk band with
his friends which led to a series of punk rock designs for his band
Half Life, and other local as well as national bands. He created
flyers, t-shirts, album covers, stickers and buttons. His easily
recognizable work could be seen stapled, glued, taped, and sewn to
just about everything in the tri-state area. After four years in the U.S. Army Infantry, stationed in Germany, he returned to Ohio. Following encouragement from his
friends, he started doing artwork for bands again. Since then he has
done fanzine covers, CD covers, t-shirts, stickers and numerous
flyers for local and national shows and events. He employs old school methods that
include hand-lettering, sketches, and half-tone press type.
The results are best described as Lichtenstein meets Ed "Big Daddy"
Roth with a twist of raw punk! He had his first solo exhibition in
July, 2006 at Square Records in Akron.
Jeff is a lifelong fan and collector of punk
rock music and Japanese toys. He is currently the front man for the
Akron based hardcore punk band, You Have Ten Seconds To Unfuck Yourself!
