Jeremy Asher Lynch
Without thinking too hard he can tell you that he got a 6’1” Timmy Patterson from Dive N’ Surf in Redondo Beach for his tenth birthday, and that before that he boogie boarded “forever” (or for four and a half years, from age five to exactly 9 ½).
Moving around, Jeremy never spent more than three years in any one school. It was mostly a coastal life though, so he surfed, skated and built upon his natural artistic inclinations alongside his artist mom. Putting brush to paper was never an overt intention; it was just what he and his brothers did in the way that most kids do. When he was eight, his mom bought him a Fisher Price PXL2000—a video camera that shot on regular cassette tapes—and he got a little 8mm camera two years later. That’s when the skate videos started, the early efforts mostly along the lines of the typical “Let’s go film! Are you filming? Oh, cause I just want to go skate and see myself on TV later on.”
It’s a long way from painting with your brothers at the kitchen table and making skate videos of your friends to being an exhibiting artist and full-time filmmaker.
