I Can't Stop My Pencil

Sometimes (actually most times) my pencil wanders around where ever it so chooses. Who am I to stop it? It's too much fun.

Jimmy's gonna pop!

My moleskine has been my only art release for a couple of months now. I'm really missing doing finished pieces and need to get through some crazy schedule stuff and get back in the studio soon. Way too much overtime happening on my full-time job. arrrrrrgh!

8-Bit Calavera

Here is my 8-Bit Calavera. I totally dig the Mario universe of characters and cool worlds and have been wanting to do an illustration with them for awhile now. I also dig skulls so this was double the fun. There are some really fine looking pieces being posted around here!

Creepy Jim Stuff

I created this Kokeshi custom awhile back but was never happy with the face. So, wanting to make this available in the Jim Store, I felt like I needed to get it to a point where I wouldn't cringe. I hope you like.

Small works
