Jarad has been drawing his whole life. Early on with a fascination with war, then horror movies, now an artist, art teacher and illustrator based in New Zealand.
He started doing regular illustrations for apparel with A Lost Cause in 2008.
This led to collab’s with Black Market Art Company a few years later.

He enjoys adding his sense of humor and creating layered narratives within his drawings, driven at times by a fascination with skulls and inspiration from Hardcore/Metal.

Over the years he’s drawn a lot of tattoos, though doesn’t have any.

Jarad’s other passions are, making/exhibiting contemporary art, writing and making music. Starting out as a drummer in Punk and Hardcore bands, then vocalist in a Thrash Metal band (along with many other bands/genres). He still plays drums, though now mainly makes music digitally, even if he once said he would never use a computer.
