Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Nickname Portraits; 2/5

Jimmy Olsen.

Name (Jimmy) used in art class for a while.

A fairly short-lived nickname within a small group, but it stuck with me all the same. I did a project on Roy Lichenstein in school and chose DC comics as a source of inspiration. There were a couple of Superman issues with Jimmy Olsen in them, who I took to drawing, and a few of my classmates pointed out that I looked quite like him. I found little objection to it and to my amusement ended up being called Jimmy for a number of weeks.

Also, if I’d been a boy I would have been called Jimmy after my grandfather, so; there you have it.

You tell them Jimmy.

Btw just go and follow this blog already. It’s pure gold.

Also I think it is imperative you people know that I was going to be called Jimmy if I’d been a guy.

Jimmy Jolley.

I shit you not.
