My Interests

My beautiful wife, Tessa Renee.

My family is my main interest. I enjoy spending time with my wife and our boys, Bray & Eth.

Anything art related. I make my living as a concept artist in the video game industry and strive to be an independent illustrator working in all entertainment industries including games, film, and comics.

I also love zombies and hope to be one when I grow up. .

I'd like to meet:

Friends kept, friends lost, and friends not yet found...

My Personal Website:
JimStigall.com
Where you can get these sweet T's!

More drawings by me and my buddies in our sketch group:

Me boys...

No, it's not a Cosby sweater...

Music:

I listen to a lot of different music - too much to list. There is nothing better than discovering a new melody, beat, lick or lyric that moves you...

Movies:

I watch a lot of movies!
My current favs include 3:10 to Yuma and Rob Zombie's Halloween.

My all-time favorites include Dawn of the Dead and all of Romero's Dead films, Shaun of the Dead, the original Star Wars Trilogy, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Television:

Simpsons.

Books:

Stephen King, JRR Tolkien. Frank Miller, The Goon, Hellboy, The Walking Dead... Currently reading Stephen King's Dark Tower II, Stephen King's Cycle of the Werewolf, and parts of King's Everything's Eventual (particularly started with 1408 to prepare for the upcoming film adaption)

Heroes:

My parents, Ted & MaryAnne - Thanks for raising me right.

Pam for always reminding me of who I am.
