Words from jimiyo: I picked this design to be curated all for myself. I think it's pretty rad despite the simplicity or lack of Darth Vader. The Cobra says Rawr Hiss I'm Bad like Michael Jackon, but the subdued military green says, I like to blend in, no fringe colors for me! You shall rue this day, if you let this one pass.

Tell us about yourself: I am a graphic artist from Topeka, Kansas. I have been drawing and painting my entire life and about 5 years I ago started messing around with digital art programs and have been hooked ever since. Most inpsiration for my art comes from comics, animation, and artist such as John k., Bruce Timm, Tex Avery, Preston Blair, Shane Glines, Genndy Tartakovsky, most anything Disney and quite a bit of Anime.

Do you own alot of shirts? If so, what's your favorite? I have a ton of shirts. Its out of control but I would have to say my favorite is my "Dr. Girlfriend shirt" I picked up from adultswim about a year ago.

Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years with your art career or other? I am currently a graphic artist for a printing and publishing company which is pretty awesome but I would love to be a freelance artist and just work from home someday.

What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was: I collected comics for years, pretty much all the mainstream superheros from DC and Marvel. I still love comics but have gotten more in to collecting original comic artwork. I was a child of the 80's so TMNT, MotU and Thundercats were all favorites as a kid growing up. Bruce Timm's Batman the animated series was and still is a favorite. My favorite movies were Star wars, Predator, Alien, Terminator and pretty much anything else Sci-fi as a kid growing up.
 
Was there a specific title you liked most of all? Hands Down, Star Wars.
