Jarrod was raised in Las Vegas, Nevada with a loving family who strongly encouraged his creativity. Beginning like most children with pencils and crayons, his talent for drawing was noticed early. He began entering artwork into local contests at the age of 5, and contributing to school wide projects shortly after.

               Over the next 20 years, Jarrod’s creativity continued to flourish, and began to take on many forms, ranging from photorealism, charcoal, classic animation, and tattooing. Incorporating technology with art was a natural next step, with a new set of challenges different than anything he had undergone before. A strong interest in video gaming and Pixar animation helped drive the motivation to learn.

                Jarrod is still living in Las Vegas with his loving girlfriend, Dawnette. While devoting many hours to growing as an artist, free time is not very common. Any extra time is usually spent with family and friends who have provided incredible amounts of support and love. Without them, none of this would be possible.
