About James Grimlee

I hate artist statements. I work full time with computers and draw as a hobby when I'm able to. Comics feel, to me, like a more natural storytelling method and although they come with their own strengths and weaknesses compared to other media, they strike me as something with untapped potential in so many ways.

Like so many other twenty-somethings, I currently live in Portland, Oregon. I am a bit of a shut-in and spend what free time I can find working on comics, or playing video games.

For quite some time, I've treated my comics as simply an exercise in drawing. Just a way to get better rather than something fit for any kind of serious consumption. I suppose I still feel that way but I believe I'm getting to a point where, who knows, I may actually attempt to publish something or even make some money off of the hobby. So while you're exploring the dredges of my older stuff, or even some of the imperfections of the newer comics, I hope you keep in mind that this is not professional work. This is my hobby. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.
