about

im jerry. my parents gave me the nickname stinky elephant. elephant because my ears were big and flappy, and stinky because my little kiddie poop stank very bad 🤡

i believe beauty will save the world. beauty of the highest form being that human kindness we show to each other. my personal vision in life is to make myself and the world around me more beautiful, through kindness and creating & enabling art.
