After just 24 hours Damn Fine Coffee! is over 250% funded! I'm blown away! Thank you all so much for your support. You've guaranteed that the zine will not only happen, it'll be the best that it can be and will make it to many more hands than I expected. I'm so glad that everyone's excited about this project, has been contributing and sharing it with their friends, and I'm psyched to get your zines and prints and drawings into your hands.
It hardly needs to be said, but I just have to thank all my talented contributors again, as none of this would have been possible without them. There is just so much gorgeous work in the zine. Some you might have already enriched your eyes upon and plenty that will be an excellent surprise. I hope you get the chance to check it all out either by pre-ordering through Kickstarter or by picking up a copy of Damn Fine Coffee! at SPX this year!

Jimmy's video game fan art book "Bits in Multiples of 8" went up on Kickstarter last NIGHT! Amazing. Now look what you've done, guys! He's gonna have to print more books!
Way to go, Jim Jams.

Suspiria, a masterpiece by Dario Argento. This trippy, amazingly surreal horror film is the subject of my newest tshirt design for Pizza Party Printing's upcoming movie night at the Ottobar. They'll be showing not only Suspiria, but the 1989 horror, The Church (paired with a fucking metal shirt by Jimmy Giegerich), so if you're in Baltimore at the end of the month, be there! Immerse yourself in blood and beer (and the music of the one, the only Goblin). It's gonna be spooky.
The Suspiria shirt is up for sale now at Pizza Party! Pick one up while you can!

haha woah! Love this, Brian! (great to meet you btw!) I also love the perpetual joyous laughter that is Jimmy in a nutshell <3
Had a blast at SPX this weekend! Drew some folks I met on the flight home.
I made screenprints of my "Pest Control" illustration. Aw yes halftone.
Hi! I was wondering if it's possible to submit art for the twin peaks zine, or if you're just selecting from certain artists you know. I'd love to make sure that there is some log lady coverage in the publication, but let me know when you have the time. Thanks!
Hi there! I'm late in replying to this. Sorry about that!
I've been asked this question many times now, so consider this my general answer to everyone. Thanks so much for asking, but unfortunately, I invited the artists in the Twin Peaks zine to take part privately, so submissions were never open. This is my first anthology-style zine, so I debated for a while whether I wanted to open up submissions for it, or curate artists by invitation. In the end I felt more comfortable asking artists because I simply wasn't sure if many people would respond to an open invitation. But folks seem really psyched about it, which is just fantastic, and even though the zine is now full-up with artists, it appears an open call would have worked out fine! I'm only sorry I can't make a book out of everyone's work. Next time, if I make another one, I plan to open it up for submissions.
And don't worry! The Log Lady will get plenty of love!

I cannot adequately express how wonderful these gems are. Jimmy's brain is just a gem mine! HAM-MURDER!?? I'm going to retire.
Soooo I think I just drew my next year’s worth of tattoos that I’m getting.
so thoughtful
The deadline for Bits in Multiples of 8: an 8bit-64-bit Video Game Fan Art Zine is TOMORROW!!! If you’re stressed out about making the deadline, I’ve provided you with some soothing music to listen to while scrambling to get your work done. >:D
Wow! You're work is so good! I really like it. Ho do you get such great digital images of your stuff? So good!
Thanks so much! I scan things at really high res and then adjust the levels in photoshop to match the originals as best I can. It can be a obsessive task!
