1. James Kerr @scorpiondagger, is a Canadian artist who has redefined digital animation since 2012 by remixing art history into irreverent, witty GIFs. Merging Renaissance figures with modern absurdities, his work humorously dissects pop culture and contemporary life. His signature animated collages have earned him collaborations with Gucci, Adult Swim, and The New York Times, as well as the publication of *The Book of Darryl*(2021), the illustrated, digitally-augmented story of a 16 y.o. who discovers heavy metal and the son of God in one heady summer in Roman-occupied Nazareth.
Kerr describes his work as a ‘mashup‘—an imaginative re contextualization of forgotten artworks. Inspired by the eccentric figures of the Northern Renaissance, he breathes new life into historic characters, envisioning their lives beyond the canvas. This playful deconstruction of classical art invites viewers to see history through a humorous, contemporary lens. 1 reply
