So much better than writing in a sketchbook...

Artist Statement

A monster of sorts.. some call me a psychedelic minstrel, the smoker of autumnal greens, grateful part-time organic farmer, disturbing artist, part-time drunk..in fact scrap all that… just call me Jimi Skull… the rider of stars… Am really enjoying checking out all your works on flickr.. so much talent being exhibited here.. now when I close my eyes I see mutations of all our works.. Maybe they exist in some other place? Man it’s really great.. enjoy this life.. or I’ll see you in the next one.. don’t be late.. Peace..
(Jimi Skull)

I invent creatures, anthropomorphic, mutated, or pseudo mythical in imagery, using my imaginary world and bringing it into the physical world in an attempt to create a language that speaks about the human animal relationship and the natural and unnatural elements of it.

My drawing is a kind of torture machine, every time on a piece of paper, black blood spouts. In this moment it is worth it to paint and draw, I have no idea what will be my next painting or drawing. The only thing I know is when I am going to finish I want to do more and more.
(Guilherme kramer)

I am desperately trying to find something. My search in the black foam and the fog of my psyche. I see no other way to that place/emotion/world.

I saw it in a dream recently. I knew instantly I would be there again. I hope I am there again. I need to find that place, to right the wrongs, it is the punishment that I need, perhaps?

I can feel a reality slipping away from me, with this drive replacing it, this quest. Where my problems are worked out and my worries are confirmed and made corporeal, real worries walking and seeing, they are deformed and contorted ideas in the flesh (and in the fog), where in there/here even your taunts will leave me smiling.
I think I will get there, perhaps I will see some of you there. There where crows call and forest silences are broken.

He uses huge scale to depict his subjects and always captures delicate emotion.

Victorian Illustration, fairy tales, abnormal psychology, and Northern Renaissance art are just a few of the things she is inspired by.

The cacophony of hand-painted signs in a variety of languages serves as both inspiration and daily reminder that the ordinary is often extraordinary and nothing is what it seems.
