Illustrator Jimmy – S14
I’ve always been a lover of stories, and most of the artsy-fartsy things I do involve some type of continuity from already existing stories, or ones I create myself. I do other things, of course, but I focus a lot of artistic efforts on characters, their stories, and seeing how far I can take those characters until they’re story is done.
I’m also a HUGE NERD! I grew up with comic books and still surround myself with them, so much of what I do is centered around what’s called line art – very define inked lines, with a cartoony side to what the lines make up. Nothing I do is “normal,” and is quite fantastical. In other words, most of my art is odd and bizarre while being fun and unique. If you really want to know more about me, just look at my art and you’ll have a pretty good idea.
