Let us introduce you to Jim Shoenbill, an illustrator on a charge to buck up people’s days with positive humor. He creates clever single-panel comics that depict strange and absurd situations in slightly different everyday life. In this macrocosm created by Jim, a deer can be a funnyman, Jesus is no longer a phenomenon worker but an optician, drinks can talk, and more. As the artist describes himself, he simply channels his distractions and strange studies into funny cartoons” to make the world a better place.”
Jim’s illustration and jotting have appeared in magazines similar to The Oldie, Alta, women’s World, American Legion Magazine, and more.

We’re curious to know where the artist draws alleviation from. Jim participated that he comes up with ideas of all kinds veritably fluently; In fact, he has further ideas for cartoons, jotting, jokes, products, and narratives than he has time to attack!” Someone formerly told me that I sounded to have a resemblant world spinning around in my head all the time, and I suppose that is principally true. I consider myself a creative person and pen first, and an artist and cartoonist second. My website contains some of the t-shirts and other products I have designed, and I am always adding further.

We asked Jim what fascinates him most about comics. The artist responded that it’s the eventuality that cartoons have to take people to a better space in their lives, even if it’s for a moment.” That is why I do what I do.”
The biggest challenge of the creative process for the artist is” taking a strange idea and reducing it to the most effective joke for a cartoon. It’s a lot like a stage-up comedy or writing a children’s book in which you have veritably many words to understand.” your point of view.”
