Jert is Absurdist pop artist Jeremy Townsend. He was born and raised in Jefferson County, Missouri; the Crystal Meth capitol of the United states. He wasted most of his youth at hardcore and punk rock shows in the dive bars and basements of nearby St. Louis, MO. He escaped to New Orleans at the turn or the century where he lived and worked as a cartoonist and caricaturist. He spent the next 6 years traveling, drawing and living all over the place, ending up back in New Orleans just in time for Hurricane Katrina. He and his wife evacuated to Orlando briefly and then landed in Atlanta at the beginning of 2006, where they have resided ever since.
Jert's work is inspired by the female form and the faces and images that popular culture burns into our minds. He draws every day. He also thinks he is very funny.
