Born September 25, 1977 in Montclair, NJ, Colin C. Jorgensen P.K.A. Cojo "Art Juggernaut" is an emerging artist of the generation that developed in the wake of the influence of Warhol and Basquiat. Cojo studied at School of Visual Arts in NYC during the mid 1990s, where he developed his definitive sharp thick outline style.
He started his career in illustration, working for some of the most preeminant names in media at the time – such as Rolling Stone Magazine, ESPN, WWE, Nike, The Village Voice, & FUBU – before transitioning into a fine art career with his seminal 2005 project Sketch 365, wherein he drew and uploaded a sketch-a-day for 365 days (the first yearlong real world drawing-a-day duration experiment), starting and concluding on his birthday.
Stemming from Sketch 365, Cojo developed the painting series titled: 10(S)ubjects. 10 categorical 8'x3' paintings to presented exactly nine years after the project began, again, on his birthday September 25, 2014 at Castle Fitzjohns Gallery in the Lower East Side.
Cojo has also spent a massive amount of time developing his voice in the NYC art scene through his blogs Art Sucks, and the more recent Artiholics,collaborative blog with over 20 contributors, at which he serves as Editor-in-Chief.
He is currently deep in development of an art podcast called Artist In Repose set to launch sometime in 2017.
