Jerrell Conner

Bio

Artist Jerrell Conner tackles the constant struggle of the sacred and profane on a daily basis. Addressing the apparent conflict of strong faith in God, having very diverse influences in the arts, and at times having a dark, heavy-handed and edgy approach to his own visuals. Which has, over time, begun to weave its way into an interesting tapestry, a unique marriage of both the digital and analog art formats. 

In the years since graduating from Otis College of Art and Design he has jumped around the industry wearing all types of hats, varying from project to project; including pre-production, storyboarding, layout, animation, supervising animation, art direction, supervising technical director, character/concept design, illustration, fine arts, motion graphics, co/directing, effects, compositing, T-shirt and apparel graphics, as well as comic books/graphic novels. 

He has worked with companies and individuals such as: Electronic Arts, MTV, Tankfarm, Faveur, Jupiter Pictures, Big Vision, Chamber Bros entertainment, Derekstar, IMAX, 4th Ave Jones, Kate Earl, Suburban Legends, and Ahmad.

 His work has been published in several periodicals and has been featured multiple times in Spectrum: the annual best in fantastic art publication. All in addition to his very own graphic novel series “Revelations: The Prophets” (also known as “The RED R“) which has been published multiple times with several books in print today.

Currently he is the assistant director over a collective of artists called Derekstar, the illustrator/art director designing the world of a soon to be released graphic novel/movie called Kid-Verse, designing a line of sports themed apparel called “Don’t Blink Mix Tape”, illustrating movie posters for IMAX’s exclusive global campaign, touring the art circuit with his character based series of drawings and paintings, but mainly you can find him working on his main project Revelations, a post apocalyptic graphic novel/animated series which he has been developing for over 10 years now.
