The Twisted Art of Jim Sheely aka Ojimbo

Twisted Art of Ojimbo

I went to visit a fellow toy collector last week. Amongst all the insane, twisted art, I spotted this little illustration on the wall. I couldn't really tell what it was until I got closer. When I did, the illustration above completely blew my mind. The colors, the details..just incredibly insane. The collector's wife actually picked it out herself as a gift for him. She knows him well. The artist is Jim Sheely aka Ojimbo. I had never seen anything like it. Done with ink and colored pencils if you can believe it. Jim works in all kinds of mediums including wood carvings, but all of his characters share the same twisted appeal.
