Things are heating up with SDCC 2024 just over the horizon and our buddies at Plastic Empire are starting things up with another banger with artist 8PM! Presenting you with “Jimmy Bomber” which has Navy Aviation styling and to us it suits Jimmy! 8PM pays homage with the Nose art from the Hell’s Angels, the 3rd Squadron of the 1st American Volunteer Group “Flying Tigers“.
JIMMY is my brainchild who once was just a boy and is now….still a boy. BUT he didn’t always look this way! Oh no, he has had quite a glow up over time. JIMMY debuted on the eve of Halloween in 2018 as an ink drawing in my sketchbook. Equipped with a birthday hat, he represented the most belated of belated birthdays. Some say he is still waiting for people to show up to his party…
Soon after his birth, JIMMY began to pick up notoriety at local conventions, often seen as a charming little skull boy who would go on to adorn many walls as a 5×7 screen print. JIMMY quickly became my best selling sticker, hard enamel pin and small run t-shirt.
Although JIMMY was created years before, Twitch is where his current form was truly born. As a channel viewer redemption reward, I have drawn well over 100 hats on JIMMY’s head. Viewers from around the world (and probably the universe) save up precious digital currency over great lengths of time for an opportunity to request any hat to be adorned on his skull…“any hat” has caused some questionable things to be drawn on his poor little head, but JIMMY takes it in stride.
