Interview
Sir Lord JEROMy esqr. III
Sir Lord JEROMy esqr.III was born Jeromy Joe Furguiele in 1971. In Arcadia CA. As a youth, Sir Lord was a creative individual often gravitating towards other creative minds leading to a great amount of art in the music world. He first started out with a young group VD then the list grew to include the acts So What, Love Distortion, Phantom Noise, Poor Old Timer, EXP and Akubi Object. In between bands late 90's early 2000's, he reinvented himself as Mr Zerox. He created computer-based music. Living in Southern California most his life at this time, he ventured out to Austin TX. He reconnected with an old friend and bandmate from California to form Los Hispanos UK. While in Austin, he continued to develop his visual art as well however, it was on and off until the day a coworker had passed away and he decided to paint a portrait for those who missed him. This lead into another painting of a friend’s recently departed father. This got the paint ball rolling.
He joined the starving artist collective and began to follow his passion. In 2010, with the collapse of Los Hispanos U.K. and a new found love (also originally) from Los Angeles Ca, he decided to move back home. Sir Lord decided on TrainTrackStudios.com as the name for the online portfolio and it has continued to grow from there. Sir Lord has gained much momentum in painting portraits of both people and pets producing 250 pieces of hand painted art in 6 years.
What is your background and how did you start your journey in the art world?
