Jeremy Ortega

Jeremy may be new to the karting world, but he's no amateur when it comes to living on the edge. But, when it's time to fire out a hip or edgy design to get the point across, this guy will be the first to nail it. Being a staff designer for Thrasher magazine and the art director for the ever popular lowbrow art magazine Juxtapoz, Jeremy's newest project is art directing the soon to be cool karting magazine KartSport.
