​Alice in Wonderland...and through the looking glass

JIME WIMMER

Artist / Illustrator / Educator

I've always loved to move delicate, flowing lines across paper. As a daydreamer and a doodler...it is the organic nature of line that moves me in my creative work. Curious lines, scratchy lines, implied lines, delicate lines and 'pretty-lines'.  I am currently a SCAD Professor Teaching Drawing, Digital Drawing, Storyboard, Inventing Environments and Life Drawing.
 I am influenced by the beauty we observe in our magical, natural world. ​I aim to capture its essence in my own visual language for every kindred wonderer.

World building

From large maps to small imaged worlds, I enjoy both bottom up and top down world building. Developing a map is a wonderful way to begin any and every story.

Being Direct

I prefer direct drawing in graphite and transfer the line work to digital format (if the piece is to be colored). 

Convenience

While retaining my traditional line work, I will use  Photoshop to digitally add values and color. I find technology to be a wonderful tool for composition, values and exploring color with its flexibility. 

Totally Digital

There are moments where digital can yield the solution to the visual problem. I enjoy these challenges when they are requested and infuse my love of line ​within the shapes and composition. 

COPERNICUS

Picture

​
​"A little turtle hatches one starry morning with a very unique looking shell. Copernicus is a tale to be told to all children who need the lesson in how to love their own shells."

Copernicus is an 8"x8" softcover children's book. 
What began as a successful Kickstarter...is now real life! 

​Copernicus later became an animatic as a demonstration for students. I used Storyboarder (a free open source option for storyboarding visuals).
