Montreal artist James Kerr mixes contemporary issues with Renaissance style painting, often in an absurd, almost uncomfortable way.
His work is primarily done through online .gifs which he posts on his blog under the name Scorpion Dagger.
His blending of traditional stylistic painting (borrowing imagery from traditional artists) with childish jokes and beloved "americana" folklore makes for an interesting dichotomy.
