Featured Killers and Their Artworks

The Happy Face Killer

Keith Jesperson (The Happy Face Killer)

During the 1990’s Keith Jesperson took the lives of 8 women across America. He was a truck driver. He received several life sentences without the possibility of parole and is living out his days at the Oregon state penitentiary.

Miguel Castro-Mendoza

Miguel is not only a rising star in the art world, but his artwork has been featured in several magazines as well. He has even done a few pieces for country rap artist Jelly Roll who performed at the Oregon State penitentiary a few times.  As I look at his works, each piece seems to tell a story and reads like a book. From beauty to sorry, this is a must have in any collection.

Joseph Nissensohn

What a story to tell. Joseph was a truck driver who enjoyed meth with his wife. One night while they were parked in his truck, he went out and got them a prostitute to have some BDSM fun with. They all did some meth and then things got out of control. He killed the prostitute. He was convicted of murder, but he did get paroled. Before he was released though, his wife came forward to tell the story of him killing several other girls. They revoked his parole of course and during the course of investigating the other killings his best friend came forward on his death bed to tell the story of how him and Joseph killed two other girls after assaulting them. This earned him the death sentence in the state of California where he is currently housed in Stockton, CA

James Munro (Now Tina Munro)

Life takes us down different paths. James Munro is now transgender and is housed at Mule Creek prison in Ione, CA. Tina has a diminished capacity and according to her own words “I was tested when I was in school, and my IQ was only 78. I couldn’t read or write. I was considered borderline retarded.” When Tina was 18 years old and still James, she made her way from the Midwest to California where she met William Bonin, the infamous freeway killer who was responsible for the deaths of several young men in Southern California. William befriended James and got him off of the streets. They worked and lived together in Downey, CA. It wasn’t long before William Bonin brought a victim home. Out of fear and confusing, James helped William by holding down the feet of his victim. Then assisted in disposing of the body. James was given 15 years to life. We keep in contact with her on a regular basis and she is doing her best to be a better person. She has learned to read and to write as a way to better herself.

James (Jim) Ruzicka

James was deemed a sexual psychopath by the courts. You see, he was sent to a mental hospital after he raped two Seattle, Washington women in the 1970’s. At the time, the state of Washington had the option of sending sex offenders to a mental hospital if they deemed that they could be rehabilitated. Jame managed to escape the hospital and hid out as his ex-wife’s house for a while. James then went out and killed two teenaged girls. He hung one of the girls from a tree and hid the other girl in a field. He fled the state of Washington and went to Oregon where he raped a 13 year old girl. He was caught and sent back to Washington state. He was sentenced to 2 consecutive life terms.

Kerry Perez

After a lifetime of crime which started when he was around 8 years old, Kerry shot and killed his drug dealer in a deal gone wrong. Kerry is the product of a mother of was a prostitute and an alcoholic father.  According to Kerry, he learned about sex when he was about 5 years old.  While his father was away at work, his mother would lock him in closet while she “turned tricks”. He would look through the old-fashioned keyhole and watch the sex acts take place.

Virginia Ann Krall

This deadly beauty hails from the Los Angeles, CA , specifically the Lakewood, CA area. She was convicted of stabbing a neighbor over 30 times with a 12 inch kitchen knife as well as stabbing her victim’s family members.

Ricky (Rooster) Wassenaar

This is an interesting inmate indeed. You see, the Rooster started a riot at his Arizona prison and held the prison hostage for quite a while.  Since there was the death of a guard involved, Ricky was given life in prison, but his story doesn’t end there.  You see, Ricky has a true hatred for sex offenders, child molesters in particular. He went on to kill 4 child molesters after hearing them all talking about when they get out, they were planning to rape again. This is according to Ricky.

Jeff Sample

Jeff is an artist from Colorado who also hosts his own show. He is one who is in contact with many different serial killers. With that said, Jeff can do custom work using almost any medium to create you a custom piece that will be in the envy of all who see it.

Featured Artists

Keith Hunter Jesperson

AKA The Happy Face Killer

Death comes in many forms. For Keith, it was strangulation. His first victim was at his home in Portland, Oregon. From there he used his job as a truck driver to kill women across the USA. He is incarcerated at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, Oregon. He spends his days drawing and painting. His skills with colored pencils are simply amazing to say the least. I am sure that you will agree that his artwork is well worth the price as an investment.

Joseph Nissensohn

Joseph was originally convicted of the murder of a prostitute during a meth fueled BDMS play in his semi-truck with his wife. While waiting for parole, and close to being released, his wife told authorities about other kills that Joseph had committed. To make matters worse for him, his best friend came forward to tell the police about 2 teenage girls that they had assaulted and killed together as well. HIs friend passed away before his day in court. Today, Joseph is housed in California in Stockton. His artwork ranges from Anime to horror themed.
