Biography

Jeffery Page — Biography

Jeffery Page is a Los Angeles artist, tattooer, painter, illustrator, photographer, writer, and lifelong student of the arts. Born in Torrance, California, in 1977, Page grew up moving throughout California, observing the people, landscapes, characters, music, and visual culture around him. He began drawing at an early age, developing a lifelong fascination with cartoons, comics, literature, popular culture, and the strange characters inhabiting everyday life.

After graduating from Apple Valley High School in 1995, Page returned to Southern California and became deeply involved in the underground music and art communities that would continue to influence his work. His creative practice has never been confined to one medium. He has worked across painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, sculpture, print, design, writing, music, and tattooing, continually approaching each as another way to tell a story.

Page began his tattoo apprenticeship in 2001 and started tattooing professionally in 2003. Over the following decades, he developed a distinctive practice informed by American traditional and neo-traditional tattooing, Japanese imagery, black-and-grey work, illustration, pop surrealism, punk and underground culture. His tattoo work has been published internationally and has taken him through studios and artistic communities across the United States and beyond.

His fine-art practice operates alongside tattooing rather than separately from it. Page uses familiar imagery—advertising, cartoons, monsters, folklore, religious symbols, consumer culture, popular icons, music, mythology, and Americana—as raw material, transforming it through humor, satire, distortion, and storytelling.

Much of this work exists within the expanding universe of Jeffery Page & Friends, including Pageia, Consume, Deja Voodoo, Professor Page, Dogi, Cat Face Killer, and numerous other characters, projects, artifacts, and fictional histories.

Today, Page continues to create and exhibit work through galleries, group exhibitions, private commissions, tattooing, publishing, collaborations, and independent projects. His practice remains deliberately difficult to categorize: part fine art, part popular culture, part mythology, part punk-rock D.I.Y. philosophy—and always an ongoing experiment in what happens when an artist refuses to stop making things.
