The art of Jim James

I love GW and read every issue cover to cover. It is the most informative and entertaining magazine out there. So as you can understand my complete surprise [when] the June issue included my drawing of Jim James. What a rush this was and is. In the midst of all the crazy — a welcomed high note. I was discombobulated at first, thinking I was looking at the iPad the drawing was made on. It finally sank in that it’s on the pages of Guitar World! Jim James is an under-the-radar, phenomenally unique guitarist and singer/ songwriter. Seeing him perform live as a solo artist or frontman for My Morning Jacket is always, in all ways, a mystically unpredictably unique rocking experience. Thanks so much for publishing my drawing.
