Tanner went to comic school in New Jersey. Once he graduated, he got a job with the skateboard company Powell Peralta and moved to Santa Barbara. While there he drew skulls and monster designs for skateboard decks and T-shirts. After a while he decided to move to LA and become a fine artist. In LA he has multiple freelance jobs for which he makes line drawings. He then scans these drawings to his computer, where he distorts the images, then uses it in his large-scale paintings. \u00a0\u201cI can layer them in Photoshop and duplicate them, and I start making these weird abstracts.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/rsz_tanner_art_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6536\" title=\"rsz_tanner_art_1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/rsz_tanner_art_1-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m starting to go in the direction now where I slowly move away from recognizable images and go to completely abstract art.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tanner-art-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6537\" title=\"tanner art 2\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/tanner-art-2-1006x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"594\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHis newest project is drawing faces.
