Jim'll Paint It
- igvadaimon 13y agoThat Putin poster is awesome.
- noja 13y agoHe might want to rethink the branding there...
- unfunco 13y agoI don't think so, he seemed to hit right about the time Operation Yewtree began, it's almost entirely a British sense of humour that he's drawing to, and the majority of people I know, despite the atrocities of what Savile did, seem to find it hilarious that everybody knew he was a blatant pedophile, but nobody did a thing.
- mryan 13y ago> the majority of people I know [..] seem to find it hilarious that everybody knew he was a blatant pedophile I'm not sure hilarious is the correct emotional response here.
- unfunco 13y agoBy excluding the last part, after the comma (but nobody did a thing), it's out of context. The red-tape and bureaucracy and cowardliness and bumbling of the BBC is what we find funny, it's pretty standard for the organisation as a whole. There's definitely no excusing the actions of those who failed to act, and that's definitely unfunny.
- spaceborn 13y agoWhy? Looks like he's doing fine as-is.

- spaceborn 13y agoYes, I understand the association. Again: why? It seems he's doing fine as-is. I don't see what harm it does him.
- xedarius 13y agoBlimey I remember looking at Jim'll Paint It about 2 years ago and his paint skills sucked (as do mine - coupled with the limitations of MS Paint). Now he seems pretty damn good. His 'Tragic Roundabout' is beautiful. I never really thought that you could get good at art by .. well doing art. Nice one Jim.
- bennyg 13y agoThat's the nature of practice and constantly attempting, regardless of the outcome. It should be a lesson in getting good at any activity.
- JonnieCache 13y agoAnd already being a professional graphic designer/artist before you start.
- JonnieCache 13y agoIt works better in its natural habitat, on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JimllPaintIt https://www.facebook.com/JimllPaintIt You get more of the audience-participatory sense of fun.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoCute. But don't we all pretty much have friends with the same deal - suggest something interesting, they'll paint it? Because that's how artists work anyway.
