ART 82 What The Jordan Josafat Jordan Josafat was born in Vallejo, California just outside of San Francisco and was raised in the south bay of San Diego, predominately Imperial Beach. Growing up in the South Bay, Josafat was exposed to graffiti, poverty, lowrider cars, and the surf culture all in one, which gave him an advantage at an early age to learn to accept people & places for what they are and to never judge. Josafat has been here all his life but in 2006 moved back to San Francisco for a year to pursue an artist internship & to gain inspiration to add to Josafat’s artist weaponry. Now back in San Diego, Jordan Josafat is constantly creating work doing commissions and being highly involved with solo & group art shows.
