After graduating from art school in 1986, Jim began his career as a graphic designer and illustrator for an ad agency in Philadelphia.

Illustration has always been his passion and in 1998 he opened Groggy Dog Studios. Soon after, he landed an editorial illustration for the Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition; Groggy Dog Studios was up and running. “As a kid,” Jim said, “I was always reprimanded for daydreaming and now I'm getting paid for it!”

In 2000, he left Philadelphia and moved to Orlando, Florida. While looking for a full-time job, he took the time to develop his technique and experiment with a mixed media of watercolor, pastel, colored pencil, and ink. This allowed for a fresh look and he began doing work for kid’s magazines such as chickaDEE and Muse.

After nine years of working as an art director by day and illustrator
by night, he decided to make illustration a full-time gig in 2007.
Jim quips, “My neighbors are convinced I’m hiding under the Federal Witness Protection Program.”

In his free time, he enjoys physical fitness, going to movies, and reading.
