He wrote: “I'm not sure where inspiration comes from, to be honest. I just sit down and the ideas start to come out… I think our heads are full of inspiration all the time, we just need to open the valve all the way and let them pour out.”#2© Photo: jimbentonshots#3© Photo: jimbentonshotsWe reached out to Jim once again to learn a little bit more about him and his work.First of all, we were curious to find out what Jim’s biggest influences are regarding his art and storytelling style.

“I grew up reading equal amounts of great books and absolute trash. I think I'm probably a stew made up of those ingredients,” wrote Jim.#4© Photo: jimbentonshots#5© Photo: jimbentonshotsWe also asked Jim to name a comic artist or a writer he would love to collaborate with.“I really love the books by P.G Wodehouse.

I'd also love to do a gallery show. I have a lot of large works that are really difficult to post,” shared Jim.#6© Photo: jimbentonshots#7© Photo: jimbentonshotsLastly, we wanted to know about a time when the reader's response made Jim feel good about his work.“I get emails from people that tell me that I wrote the first books (like Catwad) their kids really enjoyed.

Some women have written and told me that my Franny K Stein series inspired them to pursue a career in science. Dear Dumb Diary and It’s Happy Bunny have also had a positive effect on people. It's really rewarding to hear about my silly nonsense improving somebody's day in some small way.”#8© Photo: jimbentonshots#9© Photo: jimbentonshots#10© Photo: jimbentonshots#11© Photo: jimbentonshots#12© Photo: jimbentonshots#13© Photo: jimbentonshots#14© Photo: jimbentonshots#15© Photo: jimbentonshots#16You Might Also Like: 44 Photos Of Unique People That Show That Genetics Is Hard To Predict© Photo: jimbentonshots
