About

I’m Jeremy Garrett, a visual artist and concept designer with 30+ years of experience shaping characters, environments, and high-fidelity illustrations. Now based in Neve Tzuf, Israel, I blend technical precision with narrative depth across a wide range of styles—from iconic animation aesthetics to architectural rendering. I’m an Oleh and ordained rabbi who translates complex stories and institutional missions into striking visual realities.

My client work spans private commissions and notable collaborations, including character design for 4Kids Entertainment’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, concept illustrations for a $12M war memorial proposal with Gaetano Pesce Studio, and branding support for Ralph Lauren, Scholastic, and TD Waterhouse. I mentor emerging artists as a Commercial Art Instructor at the High School of Graphic Communication Arts in NYC. My work has earned honors such as First Place in the 2025 Chassidus in Color Art Competition and showcases at the 2026 Sukkah Art Exhibition in Chicago.
