Born to an Irish and Italian Catholic family on October 13, 1991, Jarad began drawing at a young age. A demure libra, he has learned time and again that he prefers a few intimate friends to many superficial friends, houseplants to dogs, and tea to coffee. Still, he does enjoy an occasional party, is friends with a few dogs, and loves a good book over Sunday morning coffee. Through the lens of graphite and ink, Jarad merges a broad range of influences from science fiction novels and comic books to religious mysticism and occultism into a unique style filled with deeply personal themes that viewers can find in themselves. He is currently building a full time art business, writing and drawing a comic book with his best friend, and practicing Zen meditation even when his knees start to hurt.
