Overview

This is Jimmy's magic. Jimmy has aimed his magic squarely at our resumes.

Why do we work? Do we work to capture our dreams? Or simply to work ourselves to the grave? How do you introduce yourself to others? A philosopher? A consumer? Or someone in between it all? Where are your dreams?
What makes his work charming is the way he entertains the surreal in the real. His art can deliver a wealth of emotions with the simplest composition, and express the deepest of sadness with a font of colors. His words are equally magical. He can capture the obtuseness of reality and highlight it in a fantastical way, showing us all the absurdity and hopelessness of the everyday world.
