Scrojo: Scoundrel, Charlatan, Savant

In most circles, he is known as SCROJO. In times gone by, others called him “Scrotum Joe.” Elders refer to him simply as “Craig”. Once an performing musician, Scrojo now fills his days creating vibrant works of art that depicts traveling minstrels, harlots, jezebels, and scoundrels. Some find his work scandalous, while others revel in his questionable subject matter. Many renowned musicians seek him out to focus his gaze upon them and capture their essence on paper. Visionary or charlatan? Many debate his métier, but you must decide for yourself.

His resume is a who’s who of the rock world. The quintessential art school dropout, Scrojo is a self- taught artist and graphic designer. Growing up in San Diego, California, Scrojo was heavily influenced by the surf culture, hot rods and the punk rock music scene. Having designed “gig posters” for the Solano Beach musical venue (fixture?) theBelly Up for over 30 years, Scrojo wears the dual hats of artist and marketer. With his keen eye, sense of whimsy, and punk-rock sensibility, Scrojo finessed his own unique artistic style, capturing the musical essence of each artist while persuasively promoting their message to audiences worldwide.
