Jimmy's gonna pop!

My moleskins have 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!

Moleskine Goodness

I love to doodle the day away. Sometimes I get lost in a moleskine page. But, it's not like I'm looking to be found when it happens.

Some more moleskine pages.

Same artist, different pages. It never gets old.

Pine Whale

6x6 mixed media on Ampersand Claycoat board- SOLD!

Here is a commissioned piece I did for a Facebook friend in October. He's happy which makes me happy.

Moleskine Doodles

Some of my latest doodles from my Moleskine.

Clueless Flem Chucker

So this guy is talking to Jimmy the other day and this big ole wad of flem comes flying outta his mouth but he's is all like, "I didn't see a thing", (even though it's the size of a lime) and keeps blabbing, but Jimmy's like, "I did see a thing" and it was like a green planetoid entering his atmosphere and hurling right at his chest, and so he can't concentrate any more and thinks the guy needs to at least offer him a beach towel and some disinfectant even though it won't happen in a trillion years (and it didn't) so that's why Jimmy thanks God for his washing machine and his shower and that's the end of the story. Just needed to get that off my chest (literally). Carry on.

Hangin' with Annabelle

Hangin' with Annabelle, originally uploaded by jimbradshaw.

It was a quiet warm breezy summer night. I was hanging out in the backyard with Annabelle, throwing the frisbee. The only ones she missed were bad throws. She loves to succeed at things. It makes me happy to be with my little buddy girl.

Ema art for Japan

Get a Jim Bradshaw original and help a great cause!

Christina Conway invited various artists to do ema art for Japan. 100% of the proceeds go to Give2Asia Earthquake & Tsunami 2011 Fund.

Ema are traditional small Japanese wooden tablets with an image on one side, and a wish or a prayer on the other. To help Japan relief efforts, spread awareness, support and hope, artists are creating ema with their own positive heartfelt imagery for auction to benefit Artists Help Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund at Give2Asia.

Taking inspiration from these simple, traditional and specifically Japanese gestures of wish-making/prayers this auction allows everyone of any culture, religious background and dynamics a similar talisman, using the "if you will it, it will be" thought belief. A small work of art for a big cause.

Bidding is open for 6 days on ebay. My art at ebay.

OCD#1 (obsessive compulsive doodle)

I submitted my doodle madness over at Infectious.com’s March Free 4 All! Your vote can help me get my art produced as skins for iPhone, iPod, laptops, iPad and more.

8-Bit Calaveras

Custom Painted Nintendo Game Cartridge

Here is my 8-Bit Calavera for a show at Ground Kontrol in Oregon. 40 artists will contribute to make a skull configuration on the wall. I got into this through The Autumn Society. 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.
