Who Killed Biggie Smalls?
2003 |
)
|
| That summer of 2003, VH1 ran their "Biggie Smalls: Behind the Music" episode practically 3 times a day. Jim watched it. His mixed media piece is a stylized interpretation of the drama, folklore and controversy surrounding the tragic death of rap artist Biggie Smalls. |
|
Swinging Round w Humpty Hump
2004 |
)
|
| This piece graphically interprets the humerous lyrics to Digital Underground's 1990 hit rap single "The Humpty Dance". The painting contains a visual illustration in the top right corner of the classic lyric "People say you look like MC Hammer on crack, Humpty!" |
|
Catheter Quarter
2004 |
)
|
| In 2004 Jim completed a 4 part series called "Chum Change" in which the artist graphically re-interpreted the American Penny, Nickle, Dime and Quarter. His inspiration for the series was spurred by negative comments made by his father, who noted that "flipping burgers" would make more money than excessive time spent on a painting sold for "chum change". |
|
Mysterious Travelers 2
2006 |
)
|
| Jim likes to paint "pilots". Mysterious Travelers is an ongoing theme in which the artist combines futuristic stereotypes of "space pilots" with the simple graphic imagery of primitive nautical cultures. The series title is a friendly reference to a classic jazz album by the group Weather Report. |

Photosynthesis Helmet
2003 |
)
|
| Jim is inspired and fascinated with "helmets". This piece is not a football helmet, but a human technical diagram for obtaining photosynthetic energy! |
