Jerram Harte (AKA Harte Doodles) is an illustrator whose biggest artistic goal is to make his six-year-old self proud. Every time he sits at his iPad to illustrate he calls upon that snot-nosed, crayon-fisted little boy in hopes of reaching the same unadulterated, purely imaginative creative state that came so effortlessly in the first grade.

Jerram is influenced most by the surrealist movement, who also harnessed their inner kindergartener. He’s fascinated by the subconscious mind and what comes out when you let go of logic and reason. Most of the time he has no idea what he’s going to draw before he draws it. The thrill of discovery and surprise is what keeps him drawing day after day.
