Launching Today! Immortal Artist Interview Series: Jim Jimenez

These past few weeks we've been very very busy working on something really amazing just for you guys.

After many lively conversations. Long nights spent in front of the computer. And early mornings boosted saved by hot coffee.

We introduce:

The Immortal Comics Interview Series

This is something that we enjoyed doing and we know that you will feel the same way too. We got to know our artists more intimately and you’ll be getting to know them more too.

These interviews will answer questions like:

•  How did they become so good at drawing?
• What advice do they have for new artists?
• And where they find constant inspiration?

This week we're ecstatic to release the first part of our interview with one of our very talented artist.The one who has been providing the awesome illustrations for our oceanic adventure Azami.

Welcome Jim Jimenez

Jim will tell us how he got into drawing. How he grew up surrounded by artists. And on how he got his first break into the comics industry.

Here you go:

Immortal Comics: 

Jim how long have you been drawing?

Jim:

I started drawing when I was a toddler, the first time I ever held a pencil, I never stopped drawing on walls, floors and even my mom’s blanket.

Immortal Comics:

I'm curious Jim what got you started in comics? What inspired you to draw?

Jim: 

My Dad’s blood are artists..also our Yaya or Yayo (Boy babysitter) is an artist, so instead of playing with marbles or trompo..we sat in our sala and drew the whole day.

Immortal Comics: 

How did you get your break in the comics industry? What was your first comics project? How did you get it?

Jim: 

I was playing in a band with my brothers and sis, “salinpusa” ‘coz I was still in high school, and one time our alternate band is a brother of Ollie Roble  Samaniego, editor of GASI..and that’s the start of it all..also additional info..we were in Walt Disney Animation when I was still in highschool.3 of us brothers Joy the eldest and Jay and me..

Tune in next week because we'll continue with our conversation with Jim. We'll be talking about the artists he follows, where he gets his inspiration and what his advice for new artists is.
