About the Artist
JoJo, the talented artist behind Murals By Eros, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, but his formative years were spent in Southern California. Immersed in hip-hop culture during the 1980s, JoJo mastered the art of graffiti using pencil, pen, marker, and acrylic spray paint. He also followed his passion for dance. In 1989, he returned to Minnesota, where he became a pioneer in the graffiti art scene and a professional Hip Hop dancer, working with some of Minnesota’s most famous artists. His Graffiti Art work has graced over a thousand walls and freights across America and has been a featured artist in over 100 books and magazines on the subject. JoJo’s expertise extends beyond the canvas.
