It's been a while....

Hello all,

So it's been a while since I posted, but be assured there is a LOT going on in Jimbot-land. Shows, shows, and more shows! There are going to be some big things coming!!!!! Till I make more announcements, I will post a little teaser image for you... and this is just the tip of the iceberg!



I would LOVE to hear what you think of this!!! Good or bad of course :).

ALSO, there have been some problems with the jimbot.com website. Some people are having troubles getting on to it, and some aren't... who knows what is going on... this new-fangled internet thingy is making me fry a few circuits. Till we get things taken care of, keep your eyes on this blog... there will be lots coming VERY soon! :)

Drawger.com

Hey all....

So I've been checking out this site for a while:

http://www.drawger.com/

If you like art, then check this place out... it's FULL of fantastic illustrators! It is a site where artists are able to set up blogs, but there is one catch... it is by invite ONLY, and you can only be invited by the other members! Thing is, even if you DO get invited, it STILL is a hard process to go through... YIKES!

The moral of this post though.... if you are reading this, and have the ability to invite people to drawger.com, why not consider adding ol' Jimbot :). I like to make arts, and am fun at parties too (WOW... this sounds like I am putting up a personals add, haha).

Ok, till next time
Later holmslices

Lots goin down!

Hey all!

Well, there has been a lot going on here in Jimbot-land these days. The biggest thing being my daughter being born!!!!!!! She is an amazing baby... but she takes a lot of attention :). Still though, I love it, and I love her.... she's great! :D

So ANYWAY, I DO have some new art to share with you. I think I will just make this post a big art-dump so you can check it out. I'll try to put some info under each piece as to what it was created for. I've been SOOOO busy since she was born.... I even did a couple of pieces that aren't going to be posted on here.

Alright, time for me to go make a bottle (and try to catch some sleep) :).
Take care all

Jimbot at Gallery 1988 for the upcoming "Idiot Box" show

Hello everyone!

Well, I have a couple more pieces of art for you to put your eyes on. They are for the April 2nd show "Idiot Box" at Gallery 1988! This one is going to be hosted by Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins). The Theme for this show was those classic television shows that you love... I picked "The A-Team" and "ALF". :).... ENJOY!!!




"A is for Android"

Size: 14x18 inches
Medium: Acrylic on Masonite panel

This piece shows what the A-Team would look like if they were all robots...and if the "A" in A-Team stood for "Android".



"Grape Soda Teardrops"
From: "ALF" Season 1, Episode 3
Size: 9.75x12 inches
Medium: Acrylic on Masonite panel

This piece shows the scene from the episode where ALF is running away because they think ALF ate the family cat. He is going to find the cat and bring it back to them. While he was writing his goodbye letter, he spilled some grape soda on the paper, and called them teardrops.

Alright everyone, I hope you enjoyed this! Posts could be scattered after this.... our new little baby is going to be coming soon!!!!!! YAY!!!! :)

Till next time, take care all

If you are at all curious about the world around you, and how it works, then give these guys a listen... they will blow you away, and change your life!!!! I give it my personal "2 robotic thumbs up"!!!!
