JB: You seem to really like the Pea Patch Jig. I’ll let you be the judge of how I draw my best friend, John: As for the accuracy of the drawings, I’d say it really depends on the person. I do usually add a few small details to punch the stories up a bit, especially if I think of a good joke I can’t resist including. I like the idea that your average trip to the store can be filled with hilarious things if you’re just open to seeing stuff that way. A lot of my comedy stems from having a sense of humor about the stuff happening around me. JP: Believe it or not, the stories are actually frighteningly true. JB: On a scale of totally made up to totally true, where do your stories and drawings fall? And do you and your friends actually resemble what we see in the drawings? (You can see how bad the early stuff was on the blog.) I have always found MS Paint pictures pretty hilarious because they usually look kinda bad. The blog got a lot better when I started adding the writing.
I really like comedic writing, so at some point, I decided to start using these pictures as a way to illustrate some funny stories from my life. (Jess had a blond ponytail in real life if you couldn’t tell from the drawing.) I started posting some of my funny pictures on a blog. For example, when our friend Jess got an internship at the National Institutes of Health, my friend sent around this picture of her accidentally pricking herself with a syringe of wolf DNA and turning into a werewolf: After college, my friends and I used to draw ridiculous pictures and email them to one another as a way to stay in touch (instead of working hard to build up a professional reputation in the workplace). Jordie Poncy: Thank you! The blog kind of evolved to its current format. I love how simply enjoyable and fun and witty it is. I’ve never seen anything like it he’s truly a master of his craft.
He writes a blog called Life in MS Paint, through which he tells well-crafted stories using Microsoft Paint as his tool. He promises to save the most interesting bits of the process for these behind-the-scene looks.I had the pleasure of interviewing Jordie Poncy, a friend of a friend who is very, very funny and earnest. Jim is, however, in the process of setting up a Patreon, where supporters will be able to drop into the occasional live feed of his painting process, amongst other things. "Unlike Bob Ross, I can't draw a whole mountain by scraping a bit of white paint on a canvas." Don't expect Jim to start a Bob Ross-esque version of Jim'll Paint It anytime soon."Watching me paint would be intensely boring, I reckon," says Jim. Last time I actively asked for new requests I got 1,700 replies."ĭespite Jim'll Paint It's characteristic humor, violence, and pop culture surrealism, Jim avoids attaching too much of his own personality to the paintings, partially because he is a self-described "socially awkward nerd." But also because he wants to focus on the imaginations of those requesting the paintings. "Probably averages about 40-50 a day nowadays. "It's hard to count up how many requests I get a day as they come in on my Facebook wall, via Tumblr messages, on Twitter, Instagram, and as comments on every picture I post," Jim says.
