Case Jernigan
Case Jernigan is an artist working in drawing, collage, and animation, all of which merge together in his own unique form of storytelling.
Jernigan’s ink line drawings show groups of robots, machines, super heroes, animals, office workers, prehistoric and mythological creatures, and more, collaged together in unlikely narrative scenarios. The artist’s lightboxes bring collaged color to his illustrations, with apocalyptic scenes that suggestively mix timelines between alien landings, tall ships approaching beaches, tanks surrounding horse-drawn carriages, or comets hurtling towards dinosaurs and highways; all of his compositions work to undermine the singularity of common narratives around climate change and civilization’s impending doom. Jernigan’s animations show a more personal side: coming-of-age stories, personal political identities, and a deep love for soccer. Jernigan grew up by the sea in Charleston, SC, and is a sucker for nostalgia, iconic sports heroes, monsters and mythology.
