Jesse Quam is a Minneapolis-based artist whose practice centers on original drawings and handmade linocut prints. For over two decades, he has explored printmaking and drawing as a way to document human connection, emotion, and everyday experience through surreal, cartoon-infused imagery. His linocut process combines traditional hand-carving techniques with an instinctive approach to composition, texture, and storytelling. Alongside his printmaking practice, drawing remains a daily discipline that fuels his larger body of work, murals, and experimental projects. Through bold lines, playful forms, and handmade imperfections, Quam creates one-of-a-kind works that balance humor, vulnerability, and community presence.
