Jim Smith
Personal Information
Description
Born: February 27th 1975 Died: Still Alive Jim Smith is a British author, illustrator and designer who is behind the gift and card range, Waldo Pancake, Head of Design for franchise chain Puccino Coffee as well as creator of the award-winning children's series Barry Loser. Jim Smith (aka Waldo Pancake) is a designer, illustrator, and writer best known for his sharp, silly, and wonderfully blunt brand of humor. Under the name Waldo Pancake, he’s created a world of products filled with bold typography, cheeky one-liners, and deadpan doodles that turn everyday objects into laugh-out-loud statements. From mugs and notebooks to greeting cards and t-shirts, his work combines clever wordplay with stripped-back design, proving that less really can be more (and funnier). Jim’s creations have appeared in shops and gift stores around the world, earning him a cult following of people who like their wit served dry, with a side of sarcasm.
Books
Tarantino (Virgin Film)
"Tarantino's work exists in a milieu of constant referentiality; nothing in his work exists in a vacuum, and context, references, tangential links and allusions are supremely important to his films. Virgin Film's Tarantino explores his use of favourite actors, anachronisms, borrowed music and reference points, and how they relate to recurring themes such as heritage, personal responsibility and redemption. An essential read for students, filmmakers and fans."--BOOK JACKET.
