"First Date" by The Haunted Zoo 12x12

Canadian artist, Jeff Denomme, is the visionary behind The Haunted Zoo, an art brand described as Hello Kitty meets Tim Burton. Jeff’s art is loved by children and adults alike. His work includes digital illustrations, paintings, murals, installations and apparel.

At 19, Jeff created his first brand, Fathom Clothing, which led him to travel across North America on the Vans Warped Tour. He sponsored bands such as Silverstein, Taking Back Sunday and Matchbook Romance. Fathom Clothing was worn in music videos featured on MTV and had orders worldwide.

In his mid-20s, while living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Jeff took what he learned from operating Fathom and created The Haunted Zoo, a more visually cohesive and recognizable brand. During the near decade he spent living on the west coast, Jeff was active in the arts community by curating and exhibiting in countless events. Jeff gained recognition in the city when he brought home silver in the Telus Artist Challenge and subsequently became a featured artist at the Whistler Ski and Snowboard Festival, which included live painting and collaborations with brands such as Volcom, Toms and Land Yachts.

Jeff has shared his passion for art by speaking at I Heart Van Art and TEDx at the University of Windsor. His art has been exhibited alongside work by Denial (Part Art Part Party), Ron English (Starskull Imperial Pilsner Release Party) and Banksy (Saving Banksy Tour Stop).

Jeff now resides in his hometown of Windsor, Ontario and is the Owner and Chief Creative Officer of Hot Hive Branding & Design Studio and Partner and Co-founder of Halo Heats Hot Sauce Co. After taking some time away from art to focus on his family and other businesses, Jeff is reinspired, and is returning to his biggest passion. The future looks very bright for The Haunted Zoo.
