Jarrod has been immersed in the world of art for as long as he can remember. His style is deeply rooted in his upbringing and reflective of the diverse cultural influences that have shaped him. Growing up in the late '80s and '90s, he was significantly impacted by the vibrant worlds of skateboarding, graffiti, heavy metal, hardcore music, and hip-hop. These dynamic subcultures, combined with a healthy dose of Saturday morning cartoons, fueled his imagination and creativity, leading to the unique artistic expression you see today.

Eastman's work is a vivid tapestry that embodies the spirit of these influences, showcasing a fusion of energy, rebellion, and graphic storytelling. He believes in the philosophy that “you get out what you put in,” emphasizing the importance of passion and dedication in the creative process. To encapsulate his artistic identity, he quotes Popeye, stating, "I yam what I yam!" This reflects not only his authenticity as an artist but also the genuine connection he maintains with his roots and inspirations. Through his art, Eastman invites viewers to experience a slice of his journey, celebrating the essence of individuality and the rich tapestry of life that inspires him daily.

He is also very serious!
