Hello, my name is Jim Romer,
and I'm a doodle addict.

I've been in the toy industry for decades. Working for companies like Russ Berrie, Commonwealth Toys, and Disney. Around 2001, I started working in the Amusement Industry, helping create many licensed characters; from little crane machine plush to the giant size plush items you see at amusement parks. Then in 2006, I started working directly with China factories, creating products mass-market retailers like Target, Petsmart and Walmart.

I specialize in animation, cartoons, character design, childrens illustration, digital art, pen and ink, whimsical illustration.

"Robot Manflower." 8x8 ink and watercolor. New discovery: Noodlers 54th Massachusetts Ink (watered down) works incredibly well for painting shadows/value before the watercolor. Watercolor does not disturb that ink! Drawn with a Pilot Custom 743 EF with De Atramentis Document Ink Black.

"Say hello to these rabbits & they'll say hello right back, Just don't offer them carrot flavored jello as a snack. 'Cause it's more than they can stand, and they're likely to attack, And when a rabbit bites your hand then you'll have to bite it back!"

Grungy doodle of the day. I felt inspired to do something smudgy and decorative and colorful.

The 3x3 Illustration Annual I was recently chosen to be in, inspired this recent doodle. Fireworks went off in my head and then spilled out on this Moleskine page.

When your own son calls you anonymous, you probably don’t exist. He likes to be funny on greeting cards. Hahaa! Usually my doodles are a one to two day thing. I continued adding to this one over a period of a couple weeks. Life has been a blur lately. It feels good to be able to post something again.

85% chance of brain. I had a brain storm today.

This feels like it could be a fun kids activity page. When I started this doodle it was just the hill with the tunnel maze and a few things added in the maze area. It didn’t feel like it was going anywhere, but as I kept adding things I started to get into it and now I’m happy that I didn’t ditch it. It’s always fun when a piece surprises me. It never gets old.

Brainstorm. I decided the color of intelligence is green. This can be backed with science and a random internet article or two.

As a break from my traditional art pursuits, I took on this project for a customer. It was such a fun challenge. I do like to stretch my boundaries.

I'll tell you what's up... It's your hot lovah in a teacup. With a tattoo on his thigh because he's the kinda guy who will love you 'til the sun's up.
