    It’s that time again, and one of my favorite times of the year. It’s October and this means Halloween is just around the corner.

  • “Fuglyheadz” miniature drawings by Ojimbo

    Jim Sheely otherwise known as Ojimbo has just posted some smaller original drawings to his Etsy shop. These new drawings entitled “Fuglyheadz” are all aceo (“Art Cards, Editions and Originals”) sized pencil and ink drawings, so each one is 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches on Fabriano watercolor paper. They will have the number in which they are created on the drawing, as well as the name of the character. This is a great chance to get an original drawing from a very talented artist that rarely posts drawings. Let’s hope he keeps going with this affordable and very exciting series of works.

  • Cabinet of Curiosities drawing by Ojimbo

    Jim Sheely, or otherwise known as Ojimbo, has just posted a new drawing. This 9″ x 9″ ink on bristol drawing is filled with “all kinds of odd shrunken heads, weird skulls, centipedes, thorns, entrails, fuzzy buddies, tentacled creeps, a little clown action and other freakish bits.” What you see here is all just ink, no white out to fix mistakes or anything. I’m a big fan of Jum’s work to begin with, but to see him work in this manner looks just amazing. There are so many little details and what looks like an endless array of faces and hidden creatures.

    He has it up for sale here: Ojimbo @ Etsy

  • Featured artists for September : Justin Degarmo & Ojimbo

    Since the Lori Earley print contest was going on for all of August, we took a break from the featured artists area. Now we are back in full swing and I would like to welcome the September featured artists, Justin Degarmo & Ojimbo (Jim Sheely). I’m very happy to be showing their work, i’ve been a fan of both of theirs for quite some time.

    I would also like to thank July’s featured artists, Sarah Bereza and Edith Lebeau. I have their work in the archive area of the “Featured Artists” area, so while you head over to check out this months art you can also look at some of the past features.
