Projects include illustrating Kevin Smith's Clerks comics, his own Grrl Scouts books, several Spider-Man books for Marvel, (and tons of other comics), the ad campaign for Colt 45 in 2007-08, the murals in the Sarah Silverman Program, his ongoing artbook series, Mixtape, the Kick Drum Comix mini-series (both published by Image Comics), and more. Jim has worked for every major comic book publisher and contributed art and comix to such magazines as Playboy, URB, BPM, Heavy Metal, Spin, Mad Magazine and more. His new, ongoing autobio strip, Los Angeles Ink Stains, can be seen here. New projects include art in the upcoming video game Need For Speed Nitro, and a animation development deal with Disney.
