Shawn Kerri

She is known for her work as one of the few female contributors to CARtoons Magazine,[2] and as part of the early Southern California punk rock scene, producing iconic images used by the Germs and the Circle Jerks.

[1][4] As a teenage girl, she was initially turned away when she applied to draw for CARtoons Magazine in 1975, but was hired on the strength of her portfolio of car illustrations.

[2] She illustrated "Adventures on the Isle of Adolescence", a 1994 spoken-word short film by David Koenigsberg, based on a poem by Pamala Karol ("La Loca"), who narrates.

[2][1] During this period, she drew numerous promotional flyers and tour posters for her friends, which included members of the Germs and the Circle Jerks.

Kerri was not paid for this, but reluctantly granted permission to band leader Keith Morris to avoid a legal fight and damaged friendships.

Kerri created the "Skank Kid" character and drew the figure used in the Circle Jerks logo.
