Garrett originally hails from just off the highway in Bethel Springs, Tennessee, a town where the signs boast “1,000 Happy Citizens”. After high school, he studied painting, drawing and sculpture at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This was followed by a digital media degree from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Garrett has worked as an animator and visual effects artist on film, TV, commercial, music video and video game projects including Halo 3, True Blood, Californication, The Sarah Connor Chronicles and CSI. Garrett’s primary interests are still painting, drawing and sculpture, although his toolkit has expanded to include those computer programs utilized primarily in film and advertising. The emphasis of his work rests less on the medium itself or the fantastical, which are typical hallmarks of digital art, than on the humanity and suggested context of the figures he renders. While the figures are based on no particular, live subjects, Garrett intends to let them stand objectively for the people they represent. He currently resides in New York.
