This is Jimmy. It is interesting how something can start as one thing and then slowly or even suddenly turn into something else. Jimmy started as Rupert, a shy and immature pre-teen. As I worked on Rupert, he began to take shape as a completely different character. The shirt was going to be kid-like, but the more I worked on it, it looked like a leftover from the 1970's surfing circuit (I think it was the fabric pattern and collar). The addition of the sun-touched hair cemented the idea that Rupert had now become Jimmy, a care-free, fun-loving surfer dude who's main interest is watching the big blue role in and the direction of the wind. The goatee ands seashell bead necklace topped him off. His favorite words are, "whoa" and "dude" with an occasional "super-max." His name is Jimmy and he was born to surf.
