Jarrett Camp

Award-winning Los Angeles artist Jarrett Camp was born in Warren, Ohio and grew up mostly in West Covina, California where he became fascinated with skateboard culture. He finds inspiration in the way the people of LA express their passion, whether it’s through skateboarding, fine art, or graffiti.

Dyslexia affects the left side of the brain, impairing the ability to sort out language in the correct sequence, which in turn makes processing the alphabet extremely difficult. While this is a challenge, Camp has leveraged the inherent benefits of dyslexia – an aptitude for two dimensional representation as well as three dimensional design. For instance, when frustrated with his inability to get a piece of perspective absolutely perfect, he’s been known to carve the problematic image out of an eraser at hand to use as a model from which to draw.

His work ranges in size from 24” x 18” to upwards of 80” x 60.” Using 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5 micron pens at 500-1000 dots per square inch on archival giclee paper, his work can take up to 8 months to complete.
