Jackson Deyerle

“Life definitely has its many challenges. Things can be hard. Follow your heart. Make friends, travel, make your own story.”

Jackson is 25 years old, and moved to Fort Bragg in 2016. He started doing art in middle school—drawing with friends. His work is very detailed. All of his drawings are from his own imagination, but he finds inspiration in a lot of movies and shows, especially works by Hayao Miyazaki. Jackson researches his creations in books—using everything from cartoons to realistic styles and designs. He loves Anime and manga, but says, “Any art in the world is interesting to look at.” He also finds inspiration in music and cooking—two other art forms. Jackson has proudly had his work shown at Make Studio in Baltimore.
