My name is Jim Giar and I'm a storyteller.

I'm also a self proclaimed pop culture brat. A child of the 60's and 70's, I grew up gazing at the flickering images glowing from the gas tube in a box. In most cases, that exposure makes it's way into my work in one form or another.

Whether it's through a single image or in multiple sequential panels, I live for the story, strive to extract a response....and love the strength of image. 

I work mostly in mixed media and pretty much throw whatever is in my arsenal at the boards to see what sticks. The thought and creation process to me is like wolfing down a box of sweetened cereal in a bowl, doused in coffee and washed down with a cup of sugar. For me, experimentation is key and is what helps me grow as artist.

Commission Work

I'm available for commissions. My rates are based on the size of the piece and the amount of color or detail. Typically most of my pieces range from trading card size to and 11x17, although currently I'm beginning to work in much larger dimensions. Use the "Contact Me" section on the work blog page to get in touch with me and I'll be more than happy to go over your needs and discuss pricing. I enjoy creator owned projects and I'm always interested in working and collaborating with others.

Thanks for visiting.

Don't forget to tip your waitress.
