Jim’s artistic style varies from comic to comic, showcasing his talent and flexibility at illustrating. Besides comic posts on Instagram, where he has over 51K followers, Benton has brought to life many other characters featured in his books like “It’s Happy Bunny,” “Dear Dumb Diary,” “Franny K. Stein,” and “Catwad.” Though Jim is a fairly known artist, he stays humble. He wrote: “The world is full of really terrific artists, I’m just happy when anybody likes anything I do.” More info: Instagram | jimbenton.com | Facebook | twitter.com First of all, the artist noted that he didn’t make a full switch from the other types of art to create comics. “I still do licensed creations (like It’s Happy Bunny, and JoKoBo ) and I write books like Franny K Stein, Dear Dumb Diary, Catwad, and more. I also do art that you might hang on a wall. Comics are something I’ve always done.” He replied: “I like traditional tools the best, like dip pens and watercolor, and sometimes I draw with ink, then scan that and color it in Photoshop, because that can be a lot faster. I had a shoulder injury that messed me up for about a year, and during that period, I started using the iPad more and more, because it was easier. I often use the pen that is closest.” “It’s Happy Bunny started as a doodle. I drew a little bunny that said ‘You suck and that’s sad’. It stayed pinned up on a bulletin board in my studio for a long time before I decided to license it on products. Was it my best idea? I don’t know, but it’s sure popped up on a lot of stuff. I guess everything starts as a doodle: bad ideas and good ideas both start that way. It’s hard to tell at the beginning which it’s going to be, you just have to grit your teeth and see where it takes you,” wrote Jim. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
