Jim earned his BFA in 1986
from The College for Creative Studies in Detroit MI. For nearly
two decades he worked with some of the biggest ad agencies in the
world : Ford, Chrysler, General Motors as well as AAA, Philips Electronics,
Dupont, Home and Gardens Television and Dreamworks.
Recent work has included a series
of paintings combining his love for Cars and Film Noir. Full of
dames that are sweet and deadly, and cars with big trunks, Jim
refers to them as “Car-Noir”.

Do you use the internet to research
ideas for your art? I use the internet all the time.
Not usually for ideas, although you never know where one is going
to pop up. I find it a great tool for researching details. I'm also
quite often inspired by new artists I find online.
Do you hang out at any websites
where people do similar art? Yes.
I do hang out on a couple of sites that people post their art. But
I dont really know of anyone else doing the noir thing that I do.
Do people tend to buy your art in
person or online? Both. I do a handful of gallery
and car related shows each year. Also I have made it pretty easy
to purchase original paintings as well as prints, T shirts and other
cool stuff on my website www.car-noir.com
