Dietro JNKRS c’è Gianpaolo Bertoncin. Italiano di Roma. Eredita dal papà Mario la passione per le due ruote. Un passato come disegnatore e grafico presso diversi studi di architettura ed una software house per cartoni animati. Nel 2015 molla tutta quella roba noiosa per fare ciò che lo diverte di più: disegnare ed illustrare. Principalmente roba legata ai motori, soprattutto moto. Ma non disdegna mostri, scheletri e compagnia. Nel giro di poco questa passione si trasforma in lavoro. Arrivano i primi riscontri positivi, le richieste per lavori su commissione, un po’ da tutto il mondo. Poster per eventi, grafiche per abbigliamento, loghi, illustrazioni editoriali. Conta collaborazioni con personaggi, brand, riviste ed organizzazioni attive nell’ambito motoristico, quali Biltwell, Lords of Dirt, Corey Alexander, Rodaggio Film, Lisbon Motorcycle Film Fest, Wheels and Waves, Arch Motorcycle, Buscadero Moto, Open Roads Rally, Motoreetto, Ferro Magazine, Motociclismo, Quattroruote, Rusty Gold Motorshop, One Moto Show ed altri.

Gianpaolo Bertoncin is the mind behind JNKRS. Italian, based in Rome. He inherited his passion for two wheels from his father, Mario. With a background as a designer and graphic artist for several architecture firms and an animation software house, he quit all that boring stuff in 2015 to do what he enjoys most: drawing and illustrating. Mostly engine-related stuff, especially motorcycles. But he doesn’t mind monsters, skeletons, and the like. In a short time, this passion turned into a job. The first positive feedback arrived, along with requests for commissioned work from all over the world: event posters, clothing graphics, logos, and editorial illustrations. He has collaborated with personalities, brands, magazines, and organizations active in the motorcycle scene, such as Biltwell, Lords of Dirt, Corey Alexander, Rodaggio Film, Lisbon Motorcycle Film Fest, Wheels and Waves, Arch Motorcycle, Buscadero Moto, Open Roads Rally, Motoreetto, Ferro Magazine, Motociclismo, Quattroruote, Rusty Gold Motorshop, One Moto Show, and others.
