BANJO EYES

About Me

I am an illustrator ( JamesJAJAC.com ) and I also draw cartoons. I'd like to work on really big projects that are very ambitious and unusual.My friends and I have a short film called "TIM WARNER: A LIFE IN THE CLOUDS", a fun short live action mock-u-mentary about a miserable cartoonist who is world famous and also a complete bastard. The film is about his journey from the top of the heap in the comic strip universe to...well where ever it is he ends up.I am interested in film and comics and writing and comedy. I also write songs on my banjo. If I were a character actor, I would be Jim Varney, Charles Bronson, Christopher Lloyd, and Orson Welles.( JamesJAJAC.com )
