About the artist
Justin Ransburg
Justin Ransburg is a visual artist who creates illustrations, comic books, mural paintings, and mixed media artworks. Ransburg has created numerous public murals in Jackson and surrounding areas in Mississippi.
His work is often filled with lively character designs that tell stories of their lives and usually are a reflection of specific personal interests or societal events reimagined in a new form. His work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions in Houston, Texas, is in the private collection of world renown art collector Lester Marks, and has been featured alongside legendary funk musician George Clinton as part of a two artist exhibition at Gallery1 at Jackson State University.
In 2016, he co-founded the Jackson Drawing Club as an effort to bring artists together to share techniques, improve their ideas, collaborate, and develop the mindset necessary to thrive as an artist.
Currently, Ransburg teaches drawing and comics creation classes at 601 Studios while maintaining my artistic practice.
