Hello. I’m Jeremy Carrus, “Jerm,” an artist based in St. Louis, MO who specializes in hand-drawn poster art and illustration. I’ve created posters for bands such as Alice Cooper, Collective Soul, and Viagra Boys, among others. When I’m not drawing posters, I’m usually recreating scenes from my favorite cartoon shows.
I’ve always been an artist, but for years my work centered on digital interfaces. Over time, I shifted my energy toward creating with pen and paper instead of mouse and screen. Moving from digital to physical sharpened my focus, and now every line and every color is deliberate. Accidents still happen, and changes are always possible, but the commitment is different. You make a choice, you stand by it, and it becomes part of the piece because it feels right.
As David Bowie said: “Don’t play to the gallery.”
I’m a lot of things, and maybe someday I’ll share the full list. For now, I’ll simply offer this: I’m a son, brother, father, uncle, nephew, friend, artist, musician, world traveler, entrepreneur, and Ironman.
