Finished my Flash Gordon Quarterly story today and I don’t hate it. Very glad to have it done and off to the publisher. It was very stressful drawing a strip drawn by artists I hold in such high regard- Raymond and Williamson. I’m pretty proud of the writing, too.

Jim's class was a load of fun! I took this class to improve my foundational drawing skills, and I also gained more confidence when creating art along the way. SWP is great for both beginning and seasoned artists, and I would take this class again to continue growing. - Sienna, Winter student

ko-fi.com/artofjim/sho... Seattle! Hope to see you! I'm very excited to offer this special workshop :D #seattle #animalart #seattleart #artclass #burkemuseum

"Big Byrd" Richard Byrd was one of the 1st people to fly over Antarctica I wanted to capture how crazy that must have felt for the residents already there... This was a demo for my Sketching With Purpose 2 students. We investigated how sketching skills can be used to prep for ambitious illustration.

Opening up commissions! These are the things I’m most comfortable doing but down for most creative projects. Didn’t put comics on here but always down to talk those too, so hit me up. Using the email on the sheets or DMs on here work fine. 🤘

stoked to see a cover like this, illustrated and full of graphic shapes! The dude in the corner is a villain I want to fight in a video game. I love the simplified fire and pyramids, even Indy has a very nice painterly look. The game has realistic graphics, but that doesn't mean its ads need to. yum

Quote Repost with your green art! there was a good period of time where I was sketching on toned green paper. memorable drawings if just for that.

Posting something so people know why I'm here.

The first couple pages and cover of a new project, the Antarctic journal of Ada Henson. It's a fictional spec-bio journal chronicling her journey to a subglacial lake and cavern system, where her team finds new species. Treating this as if it were my own sketchbook, which is very freeing.
