“I Don’t Know What I’m Doing,
I Just Draw Stuff.”
About
My name is Therrious Davis, but I tend to go by my nickname Therro. I am an illustrator and a graduate from the Memphis College of Art. I grew up in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis Tennessee. My community along with being somewhat of a latchkey kid, truly shaped my view of the world. I was (and still) pretty reserved as a kid so art was the method I used to epress myself and my feelings on a society I felt I was a spectator of. As a result, my work combines the worlds I witnessed on television and the world I witness when I step outside.
