Bored Panda got in touch with Jim to ask him more about his creative process and himself. The artist revealed that he tried other forms of art before comics. "I really loved sculpture and printmaking, and painting. But at some point, the voice of your inner jackass becomes deafening, and you find yourself listening to it. I also write quite a bit."

After being asked where Jim gets inspiration from, the artist replied that he doesn't really know where his ideas come from. "I usually just sit down at the drawing table and the ideas begin. Some bad, some good. My style comes from a love of experimentation. I’m afraid I may have an art-supply abuse problem."
The most challenging part of the creative process for Jim is being seen. "There are so many terrific options for people, it’s tough to elbow your way through the crowd. But when you do, it’s worth it."
"I love the idea of sharing a laugh with somebody, or even just a smirk. I love when people share and repost them."
Jim shared that his brand, 'It's Happy Bunny', is being relaunched, and the product is starting to show up in Hot Topic and other stores. "I have a 'Batman' project coming soon from DC. And I’m working on 'Dear Dumb Diary' graphic novels for Scholastic. Also, I’m running a promotion for people to win original art from my book 'Comet, the Unstoppable Reindeer'." All the details on that are on Jim's Twitter and Instagram. The artist also has a page on gocomics.com, and his website!

Good idea: buying a pair of shoes on sale. Bad idea: buying a parachute on sale.

It does say God created us in His own image. Our eyes would have to work the same. He should have put on shades first.

He needs a steed. I know of a talking donkey with a large family to support.

It's the idea that they shoot quills when they fight, actually though it's just that some can come out when a predator tries to take bite, the quills get stuck in the foolish predator's mouth and face. It would be just a few at a time and it grows back, so you'd never see a bald adult, except in a cute comic.

I love watching videos of dogs that really don't want to go for a walk.

I love seeing cartoons that aren't hopelessly derivative. And the vampire with a bib actually made me laugh out loud .

Some of these were too dark for my taste, but a lot of them made me snicker and a few made me really laugh. Hope to see more from this artist
