He has had a great career. Some consider him to be the top western artist today.

My favorite western piece from him is "Pox Blanket", but I don't see it on his site.

I don't recall that one.

I knew Jim way back when he was a starving artist. He is not starving now. Not by a long shot.

That was me trying to be funny, sorry about that.

His artwork does look very nice.

If I can afford it, I would like to buy one of his paintings someday.

Smart guy...this is a good commercial idea:

"Jim's work is figurative, emphasizing movement and action. He has created many pieces depicting athletic subjects and themes. In 2004, combining his business background with his enthusiasm for sports, Jim began the series titled "Suits". This series uses sports as a metaphor to explore the competitive nature of business. "Business has become for many the sport of a lifetime," Jim says. Looking at various aspects of business life, Jim presents the contemporary businessman's daily struggle with himself and others in an ironic and humorous fashion. "

Actually, I couldn't help thinking this seemed a little provincial or sexist. He needs to do some statues of women in suits struggling up the ladder (and guys below ogling up inside the skirt).
