Artist Bio
From the artist... "i was raised in a trailer park and never really fit into my surroundings. my imagination and ability to draw allowed me an opportunity to escape a world of carports, shag carpets, faux wood paneling, and the hell of school bullies on a daily basis and started me on a road to creativity. as i grew i drew and as i drew i grew developing a style along the way inspired by animation, disneyland, star wars, and the works of mary blair, dr. seuss, and edward gorey. i studied film, character animation and production design/art direction to be precise, at california institute of the arts. there i met a new inspiration, my mentor bob winquist who’s brilliance made me see the world in a whole new way. his influence helped me to mold a unique creative vision and original style of my own, which lead me to work for some of the top creative companies in the world, walt disney imagineering, hallmark inc., universal studios, all, of which i am thankful to have been a part of. my career lead me down another path as an award winning artist, author and illustrator, with my work being seen in books, galleries, and theme parks around the world. it is amazing to think about and i am thankful and grateful for each and every experience. i live in a small coastal village on the oregon coast with my partner and our three dogs, pugsley, wednesday and jesse. i also have and affinity for the number 3; it is after all, the magic number."
This will be Jimmy's first exhibit at Rotofugi Gallery.
