New York native Jeremy Fish was driven to San Francisco in 1994 by his passion for graffiti bombing, and his talent was quickly realised as he studied at the San Francisco Art Institute. Combining his skills in spray painting and his love for skateboarding, Fish's original style conquered the scene. He was inspired by the masters of punk-skate illustration and revisited classic symbols of the genre in a narrative form, particularly using visionary hybrids of fantastical, anthropomorphised animals. Rome-Antic Delusions stems from Fish's 2008 Rome exhibition.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The now San Franciscan based artist, Jeremy Fish, was born in Albany, New York, in 1974. A focus in screen-printing during Jeremy's education and work experience has led to a career as a fine artist, and a commercial illustrator. He received his BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1997. Fish has found a balance between exhibiting his work both across the US, and internationally in galleries and museums, while continuing to maintain a presence designing skateboards, t-shirts, vinyl toys, album covers, periodical illustrations, murals, and sneakers. This artwork is mainly about storytelling and communication, told through a library of characters and symbols.

Fish has collaborated with Aesop Rock since the latter's move to San Francisco in 2005. In the fall of 2006, the pair created a book entitled The Next Best Thing, which also included a 7-inch picture disk. Fish later created the artwork for Aesop Rock's fifth studio album None Shall Pass, released by Definitive Jux. In 2009, they again teamed up to release Ghosts of the Barbary Coast on Definitive Jux. In 2008, DRAGO staged RomeAntic Delusions, an exhibition of Fish's paintings, drawings and screen prints, which make up the book of the same name.. The exhibition was held in Rome, and much of the art was created there as well. His 2011 "Silly Pink Bunnies" sculpture and mural at Haight Street and Laguna Street in San Francisco was removed in 2013 due to construction. A Kickstarter crowd funding campaign was started and raised over $50,000 to erect a permanent bronze bunny at the same location in the future.
