#ShawnKerri (born 1958) is an American cartoonist who was active from the mid-1970's to the early 1990's. She is best known for the artwork she created for #punk rock bands including the Circle Jerks and the Germs and as a mainstay artist of #CARtoons magazine. She never did get paid for the use of her drawing of the skank kid that the Circle Jerks uses on albums & merch until this day.

I just realized there are two #ShawnKerri references in this photo! She was the #punk rock illustrator & cartoonist who drew the Circle Jerks skank kid AND the Germs image on the t-shirt (originally flyer art.)

Just learned about Shawn Kerri, the punk cartoon artist who invented the #SkankKid and a lot more iconic punk stuff.

"The Circle Jerks mascot was drawn by the insanely talented Shawn Kerri in 1980. This is a video about the history of her art work, her legacy and the enduring and everlasting impact of her influence. " Video: Danframpt0n
