About Captain Jezzatron
Hi! I'm Jeremy but around here, most people call me "Captain Jezzatron"
This is my myth. My story. My fun. My creation.
I'm a student of cycles and lover of wisdom and beauty and aim to align myself with the winds and light of the universe.
Jezzatron is more than just a character in our imaginations though...
I am here to be a beacon of creativity and transformation, and guide others to embrace their unique gifts and visions.
I believe in the opportunity to write a legacy of beauty, harmony, and transformative growth, and I’m dedicated to co-creating a future grounded in creativity, connection, and universal truths.
I'm a visual artist and this project was born from my desire to weave together skills and tools for the inner and outer journey.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I invite you to explore the many stories, visuals and nooks and crannies in Jezzatron's world. Eester eggs abound. What will you discover?
About the Captain
Jeremy Mentz · Captain Jezzatron · Painter, Teacher, Builder of Arks
It started under a tree.
I was sketching a spider — watching it, trying to get it right on the page — when an actual spider fell out of the branches and landed directly on my drawing.
I don't know what you'd call that. I called it a message. Weave a web with your pen and mind.
I've been weaving ever since.
The Arc(k)
The Arc(k) of Animal Alchemy is a hand-painted oracle system — 64 patterns of change, each one carrying three animals as guides. One to show you where you're stuck. One to show you the gift inside it. One to show you what freedom looks like from there.
I've painted over a hundred of them. Small, postcard-sized animals with features and often in a situation. Each one a teacher for a specific kind of weather.
The system draws from the I Ching, Gene Keys, Human Design, Kabbalah, the Celtic Wheel, and the deep well of every wisdom tradition I've had the privilege of sitting with.
But it's not any of those things. It's its own ship — built from what I've lived, what I've painted, what I've survived and sailed through.
Who I Am
I'm a dad, an artist, and a spiritual journeyer.
I live aboard my Arc(k), as its captain — which is both metaphor and truth.
I teach, I listen, I learn and I play....lately here and through the Wild Remembering on Patreon — a 12-month curriculum mapped to the seasons, helping people use these 64 patterns to navigate their own lives with more grace and less unnecessary suffering.
I paint because it's a language of the mind.
And I built this Arc(k) of Animal Alchemy - because I needed it — and now I know, I wasn't the only one thinking this way...
The Waters I Sail In
No ship is built without learning from other ships. The Arc(k) grew in the soil of Richard Rudd's Gene Keys and the Dream Arc he built with artist Rosie Aronson. The I Ching itself sits beneath all of it like bedrock — over three thousand years of humanity's map of change. Rumi, Alan Watts, and every mystic who ever pointed at the moon and said look.
I am a student. I am the captain of my ship.
And I only pop into people's lives, when they're ready for the next step...
