My name… IN COMICS!

July 30, 2010 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Comicks, Real Life Happenings!

I really should have realized this before, and it’s kind of a little thing, but I just noticed that my name appears in every Dark Horse comic book. In the company colophon featured in each Horsepower letters column, my name is listed alphabetically under the marketing department header.

Get (Scott) Pilgrim-ized!

June 23, 2010 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Film Features, Skimming the Internets

There’s a rad promotional thingy-majigger for the upcoming “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” that everybody and their mothers are linking to and posting images of today. I created my Scott Pilgrim avatar last night and here’s my bandwagon-jumping blog-posting display of my tooned-out counterpart…

The Great Potential of John Krasinski as Captain America

March 10, 2010 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Film Features, Haphazard Reckonings, Real Life Happenings!

Frequenters of the internets will have seen that casting for “Captain America: The First Avenger” has been a big news item over the past week or two. The short version is that “The Office’s” John Krasinski (aka Jim Halpert) was initially in the running and an early front-runner for the role. He was then voted the fan-favorite choice by MTV readers, and now it looks like he’s no longer in the game.

Reading is fun!

Sometimes you just have to animate a gif, if only to remind yourself it can be done.

Ironically, I owe my very existence to a peanut

March 03, 2010 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Death to legumes!, Food Stuffs, Real Life Happenings!, Story Time!

I’m clearly not a big fan of peanuts. (Please refer to this site’s url for more!)

And yet, if it weren’t for a peanut, I would never have existed.

Whatever happened to those wacky moustaches?

January 07, 2010 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Facial Hair, Real Life Happenings!

For an entire month, this blog was committed to little more than posting pictures of moustaches in order to help raise funds that would go on to aid the fight against cancer. Matthew Lubicky and I, under the auspicious name of “The Venerable Gentlemen…FROM SPACE!,” raised a grand total of $1,127.92 to help benefit men’s cancer research and raise awareness about men’s health.

Hellboy Doodle

December 27, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Illustrations

I pulled out my pens earlier and doodled this Hellboy image, colored it a few ways and thought I’d post the results here. I’m still getting back in the swing of doodling (Please note: This is not art, nor will you hear me calling it that—’cause it isn’t art.) so I stuck with a simple bust-shot and an angle that always comes easily for me when I’m “cartooning.” Anywho, here are the images. I hope you dig them.

Me, circa Late 2009

December 22, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Facial Hair, Illustrations

As my few regular readers (i.e. my family) may have noticed, I haven’t posted any drawings in a while. Life’s been so busy and overwhelming with the move to Portland, adjusting to a new job and learning a new city that I decided to put down my doodle pad for a bit.

Movember Moustache Photo Diary: Day 30 or The Final ‘Stachey Day

November 30, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Facial Hair, Real Life Happenings!

It’s been a wild ride, folks, but it’s come to an end. Thirty days full of growing have come and gone—Movember’s finally complete. As of today, my moustache partner Matthew Lubicky and I have posted over 60 moustache pictures, aired three videos and raised over $1,000 ($1,057.92, to be exact). Not too shabby, if I do say so myself!

Movember Moustache Photo Diary: Days 28 and 29

November 29, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Facial Hair, Real Life Happenings!

Wow, it’s almost over. Movember is terrifyingly close to ending and I don’t think I want to get rid of this delightful moustache. It’s really a fine addition to any male face.
