My name is Jeremy I have a poetry blog: JePokPoetry, but this is Teddy Pogo Art and this is to introduce you to Teddy Pogo. By the way I first started calling him Teddy Pogo about three months ago. Before that I didn't even know his last name, but when I did I new his new name --- Teddy Pogo---. I first met Teddy Pogo about a year ago. He's kind of a quiet introverted guy so it took a little while to get to know him. But I soon found out about his talent as an artist and after awhile we really found some common ground including both of us being polish, our birthdays being one day apart and most of all a desire to put something out there.

Teddy Pogo born Ted Pogorzelski, Feb. 17th, 1982 in Trenton, NJ, grew up playing the Final Fantasy series, playing the drums and loving music. He barely graduated from Hopewell Valley Central H.S. mostly because he spent all his time drawing. He did not attend college but instead spent a couple of months in Trenton Artworks working on nude figure drawing(I'm not sure why he wanted to pose nude but I guess it was just something he felt he had to do to progress).

He spent a couple of years working various jobs, playing in a band, working on a demanding martial art and always drawing...always. At 24 he met his sweetheart and about a year later they decided to leave New Jersey to find a place where rent was cheaper, people were nice and everything was a little more laid back so he could focus more on his art.

They eventually landed in Phoenix, AZ, where he works in fast food during the day and by night is a paper and pencil wielding crime fighter. Currently Teddy Pogo is working with a company in New Jersey called New Realm Comics

Other projects on the stove include his own story he hopes to publish one day, a couple of blogs and sites featuring his art. All related sites are listed on this page in the links sections. Please feel free to check out everything to see more of Teddy Pogo Art.
