We are pleased to announce our August speaker, @jimmydrawsstuff ! Jimmy has been a part of our CM community for what seems like forever (does anyone remember a #cmbrisbane without Jimmy in it?!). Save the morning of 23 August, you won’t want to miss it. • Jimmy is a multidisciplinary visual communicator, focusing strongly on the art of storytelling through illustration and animation. The world of live graphic recording was thrown upon Jimmy in the early 2010’s when he discovered this format of visual note taking and he instantly developed a keen interest in it. He pursued a career in music and engaged in a variety of odd jobs in different industries, before reigniting his interest in a serious career of illustration. In 2016, Jimmy developed his own graphic novel with fellow writer Georgia Harrison, this work ‘Le Récit: Seven Fathers’, and the larger unfinished work, ‘Le Récit: The Voyage of the Orlova’ have become part of a bigger universe of stories and characters. He’s also created comic shorts, ‘Pin’ and ‘Broken’, launched via Instagram. His illustrations have been featured in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and have found themselves in a US based zine called Zarts. Jimmy has been engaged by comedy duo @hamishandandy to design a band T-shirt for their tour in 2018 and has produced a collaborative music video for Osaka based musician Satsuki Minoda. Most recently, Jimmy has joined the newly formed committee of Graphic Recorders Australia. You’ll find Jimmy living in Brisbane close to the river, reading a gothic western of graphic novel, drinking a single malt whiskey after sketching bizarre creatures and unique characters, whilst relishing the company of his incredible wife Casey and legendary son, Theodore. • #jimmypatch #graphicrecording #cmbrisbane #cmjustice #creativemornings (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zR8E-gjMh/?igshid=1xk9hb2simpnz
