Jimbo Easter is an artist and musician. His off-beat outsider performances, music, and artworks have been a spicy staple of the Detroit art-scene since the mid-1990s.<\/p>\n

“Jimbo Easter, born James Millross (1975), is a multi-disciplinary artist with an eccentric imagination and relentless energy. Moving between drawing, sculpture, sound, film, and body performance, Easter’s work embodies innocence, humor, and a distrust of the overly technological. The discipline behind the chaos is nourished from years of construction work and a twenty-five year art practice. Easter is an outlier without an agenda or brand to sell. He creates unique hermetic worlds with their own strange logic. A descendent of Alfred Jarry, Lost in Space,<\/em> and Gumby, he is part flowerchild, anarchist, and Time Machine Morlock.”
\n–Cary Loren from Attack of the Mushroom People: A Theory, Detroit Research: On Sound Vol. 3<\/a><\/p>\n
