About

My name is Jeremy Hjort and I am a Texas born artist, illustrator, and travelling vendor. I would like to take you on a journey with my art. Working with alcohol based markers and colored pencils, I try to bring classic fairy tales and pop culture to life. When creating, I use drastic and highly vivid color combinations to entice your eyes to see childhood imagery and stories in a much different light, thus creating a bond with those viewing my work. What is Razorblade Art? As a young adult I loved to make street art with spray paint on the back porch. My father James Hjort Sr., a fantasy artist/author, my role model and inspiration, saw how I used razor blades as pallet knives on my paintings. This inspired him to create a long lost website devoted to showing my art, all without my knowledge. That site was called Razorblade Art. My father is no longer with us, so I call myself Razorblade Art, to ensure that he will always be part of my journey.

Artist Statement

Creating art with alcohol-based markers is a journey of vibrant exploration and meticulous precision. These markers allow me to blend colors seamlessly, creating gradients and textures that bring my visions to life with a vivid intensity. The fluidity and versatility of alcohol-based markers enable me to experiment with a wide range of techniques, from delicate shading to bold, expressive strokes. My work often reflects a deep connection to the world around me, capturing the essence of nature, emotions, and the human experience. The quick-drying nature of these markers challenges me to work swiftly and decisively, fostering a dynamic and spontaneous creative process. Each piece is a testament to the harmony between control and freedom, structure and fluidity. Through my art, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting viewers to see the world through a lens of color and imagination.
