We’re back from our winter hiatus, and I’m super excited to continue our journey this season starting with Jimmy Descant, a sculptor from Salida Creative District, Colorado Certified.
Jimmy believes that his job as an artist is to affect people – to pull out of them what they’re thinking and how they relate to the world and other people.
When do you find that art affects you? Please consider sharing your thoughts in the comments below!
JIMMY’S BIO:
Jimmy Descant, the Rocketman, grew up in New Orleans and has lived and created his art in Salida, CO. for the past 7 years. Before becoming a full-time, self-taught sculptor he was a mechanic, pinball machine refurbisher, and salesman before touring the country and the world with bands for 15 years. Always eclectic in his art, life, and lifestyle, Jimmy bills himself as a Severe ReConstructivist in his search for raw materials from the Golden Age of American manufacturing.
