The West Virginia native has been drawing cartoons ever since he was a crayon-wielding toddler scribbling on his mother’s nice, white, kitchen walls. (It was also his first experience with critical feedback!) After college, where he drew for his campus newspaper, he was an award-winning editorial cartoonist for 26 years, having drawn for daily newspapers in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. His work was syndicated across the U.S. and appeared in USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. 

Jim currently resides in Gulfport, Mississippi, where he freelances and brings his talent as a caricature artist to wedding receptions, corporate events, parties, and custom studio work. He will bring smiles and laughter to you and your guests. Kids are thrilled, adults are entertained, and everyone leaves with a caricature drawing as a memento of the occasion. Don’t delay, book Jim today for your next party or event!

“Jim was awesome and his professionalism is unmatched! It rained in the middle of our event. Half of our other entertainment left, one without any notification. Jim looked for me and was eager to continue what he was doing. We found a place and he worked until the very end. He is such a pleasant person and easy going individual. I would absolutely call him again. He has such a calming and peaceful spirit. It was definitely what was needed!
