Drawn loose, inked loud.

SkareKro is the working name of illustrator and comic artist Jeremy O'Ryan. The style runs on big heads, bigger expressions, and a heavy black line — part sketchbook, part mascot, always a little unhinged in the best way.

Artist and character, same signature.

SkareKro isn't just a byline — it's grown into a mascot in its own right, showing up as a recurring bearded, big-eyed stand-in across posters and sketchbook pages. Jeremy draws in pencil and ink first, then finishes traditionally or in full digital color depending on what the piece needs.

His comic work includes pencils, inks, and color across issues of Peanut' Puddin' n' Jelly, the all-ages series from Hazzum Productions, alongside personal sketch pages and the self-published Little Heroes Coloring Book.
