Jim Clark

I sing and play the ukulele. Sometimes I write songs and perform under the name "UKULELE JIM". It's folk/rock music, mostly. Give it a listen.

I write comics. My latest is a Western webcomic called "The Guns of Shadow Valley". It was nominated for the Eisner award for "Best Digital Comic" in 2010, which is like being nominated for an Oscar except for comics. My first foray into writing comic books was Scar Tissue which was recently relaunched as a webcomic. I've also written some fiction and really bad poetry that actually got published. Writing doesn't make me any money, but I'm of the belief that starvation makes one a better writer anyway.

I work with technology. I like gadgets. For the right price, I'll fix your computer network or try to explain complex nerd things to you in simple terms.

I sometimes write stuff on Twitter and Facebook. There's some personal history and ramblings in my old blog but I don't post there much any more.

Hi, my name is Jim Clark.

No, I did not go to your school. I am not the Jim Clark who founded Netscape. I am not the dead race car driver. I did not direct the movie you saw. I have never worked for your company. I am not your ex-husband. I am not your long lost father. I am not related to the person you know. We were not childhood friends. I do not owe you money.

You're probably thinking of that other guy. There are 409 people in the U.S. named Jim Clark. There are 11,530 people in the U.S. and 1,765 people in the U.K. named James Clark. There are 4,991,477 people in the U.S. with the first name James; statistically, it's the 1st most popular first name. A Google search result for "James Clark" yields over 801,000 pages. As you can see, I am not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

So who am I?

In short: I write comic books, play the ukulele, juggle, and wear pants (but not all at the same time). I'm a husband and father of two. I share a birthday with Hillary Clinton, but she is older and has a bigger penis. Anagrams of my full name include REDNECK ALARM JAWS, LAWN DECK SMEAR JAR and CANDLE WARMS A JERK. I do not like beets.

The links at the top of the page say much more about me, so you should probably start there. If there's anything else you'd like to know you can read my FAQ or feel free to ask. You can drop me a line at the e-mail address below.
