His art is used by numerous non-profit organizations, police and fire departments, hospitals and clinics, commercial businesses, advertising agencies, media groups that include Television, Radio and Newspapers and child safety and health advocates nationwide.
Media groups that include ABC
Television and Citadel
Broadcasting feature Jim’s ITTY
BITTY SUPER DUPERS Coloring Cartoons on their web sites all the time for kids and
families.
Newspapers across New England also feature his cartoon characters as coloring contests for kids with new images monthly that are sponsored by businesses, companies and Corporate America. Over the years companies and organizations such as Meineke, Midas, Speedy Mufflers & Brakes, Garelick Farms Dairy, Rhody Fresh Milk, AAA, NHTSA, FEMA, NFPA, CDC, SAFE KIDS USA, SAFE KIDS WORLDWIDE, American Academy of Pediatrics, Clear Channel Communications, NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX NETWORK have all branded with campaigns created by Jim that feature his cartoon characters and content for kids and families. FOX NETWORK even featured a Holiday Special during Christmas Vacation Week airing the episode two times on New England Fox Television that featured a child safety program created, written and developed by Jim that featured his cartoon characters, area police officers and firefighters and kids about Holiday Safety. Even received 2 listings in the TV Guide that week.
Jim’s Award-Winning Cartoon Characters and Written Content are featured on web sites across the country. His very popular cartoon characters for kids are called the ITTY BITTY SUPER DUPERS. These pint-sized super heroes are exciting and funny and kids can’t get enough of them! Jim’s very first publication, ITTY BITTY SUPER DUPERS VS. SCARY MONSTERS, was released on Halloween, October 31st, 2009, and received a great review in Comic Book Magazines. One comics critic wrote; “Jim’s artwork brings charm to the pages. His cartoon characters and storyline reminds me of the popular LOONEY TUNES Cartoon Characters and can be compared to Warner Bros. Jim’s story is funny and fun for kids and can be read again, and again.” This IBSD COLOROMIC BOOK, (combination Coloring and Comic Book), sold out in comic book stores quickly!
Jim is a very dedicated and creative individual when it comes to children and content. He never wants to send the wrong messages to kids and his work has been reviewed by child safety advocates nationwide with a thumbs up response for his creativity, dedication, artwork and written content.
Jim is also a "gearhead", or someone that is very fond of classic cars, muscle cars, and all things automotive. This passion is part of his inspiration behind his glass work. Jim takes everyday images and turns them into beautiful works of art using nothing more than his imagination, and a mirror. These mirrors make incredible decorations, gifts, and trophies.
Jim has received numerous awards, honors and recently a Citizen’s Service Medal fromlocal, state and federal child safety advocate groups, police and fire departments and pediatric care givers for his continued creative efforts to help keep kids safer and healthier in their daily lives nationwide.

Putting all of these ideas together suggest being framed doesn’t have to be looked upon as being a negative reference. Color in framed and common spaces bring out the big kid in all of us, as well as give youngsters a positive outlook through creativity. Plain and moderate colors have a way of sneaking up on us at strange times, letting us know to keep a watchful eye on space areas that often need special attention.
Providing positive energy through color creates a brighter day for those who utilize the correct framed design.

Traditionally, Spring Cleaning is a ritual based on airing out and cleaning after a winter of being closed up with a variety of cooking odors, weeks of dust and fireplace soot – in these days of 21st century living it’s often about getting a fresh start and sprucing up.
Sure, you could, and I do encourage, a good yearly deep clean! Yes, even the baseboards and window treatments and all places in-between, even and especially under the furniture. This is simply good practice and it has a much deeper meaning than just getting things clean… Dust and dirt are low energy, the lowest really and even if you aren’t aware of it on a conscious level it can pull you down. As we move into Spring, nature’s energy is revving up and giving you a natural boost to get this work done and increase your own energy. That old saying “cleanliness is next to godliness” isn’t that far off. Clean things are a higher vibrational energy!
So Spring Cleaning really does make you feel better!
While you’re at it why not take things a step further and really give you, your home and your life an extreme spring cleaning!?! This is a great time to purge out what really doesn’t work, identify and embrace what you really love and re-energize with a fresh look for your home. This can be as simple as fresh paint or as complex as a kitchen remodel. Okay, okay. A kitchen remodel is really extreme, but you get my point. So let’s dial it back and look at simple.
You’ve been looking at the same bedding for 10 years, change it. Choose something outside of your box; if you lean toward traditional florals take a look at a paisley, a stripe or some color blocking. Change the paint color or really get out of your box and paint the ceiling! It doesn’t have to be the Sistine Chapel but it could be if you want! Have fun and explore, it’s just paint. Try a new furniture arrangement; sometimes a shift of placement is all you need to get the energy moving in a new direction.
Approach your Spring Cleaning with a joyful attitude. Even if all you do is the cleaning, without changing anything else you will give you and your home a boost. Walking out of a clean space will give you a sense that when you arrive home there isn’t work to be done and when you arrive home it will sparkle and welcome you to relax. Tasks completed fully and with joy foster future creativity and enjoyment, so what you accomplish in your Spring Cleaning continues to give you the joy and creative energy you put into it.You are capable of making great changes that enhance and support you in the life you want. Spring Cleaning can be an empowering experience once you embrace it. If the task is too big or you don’t want to go it alone, there are lots of professionals to help you, from organizers to interior designers and there is someone out there to fit your budget. Sometimes a little direction and validation is all you need.
Wishing you the joy of Spring and all of the abundance it brings.Lauren Shelby is the owner of Spaces Within, which has been working collaboratively with clients since 1997 to discover and understand their beauty within, and transform their spaces into true works of art.

Bursting with infectious energy anyone who’s ever met Whitman, MA native Nguyet Nguyen soon realizes the power of her fun, upbeat aura. We caught up with our good friend and asked her to give insight on what keeps her happy and motivated as a “Real Woman”. “As women we can sometimes get down on ourselves when all it takes is a little inspiration and positive affirmation of self.” At 33 Nguyet has managed to keep herself in great shape through exercise, eating right and taking time for self, which are all very important factors for stress and life management. She tells us her favorite ways to workout are Zumba, playing Wii and Kinect, mixed with plenty of dancing! Friendship also plays a major role in Ms. Nguyen’s life; she’s always willing to offer words of encouragement, smiles, hugs and good laughs. When asked what she thought was one of the major issues amongst women today she answered, “In my opinion the number one problem facing women today is the daily struggle to look ‘perfect’ based on society’s impossible standards. Women must realize that beauty is within and to love themselves for their own uniqueness.”

SPECIAL!From The Desk Of:

Getting into Love is never a regretful or disappointing experience. LOVE is capitalized just to express how much two people can care for each other unconditionally… never use LOVE spelled in this way to suggest anger.
We all need a lot of it, and we seem to never be able to get enough of the special feeling that love brings to our emotional side of balance. Falling in love and keeping that love together in a relationship isn’t really all that complicated. Despite what most pessimists may think love can conquer problems in just a few little words.
Building happiness is one of the best benefits that love has to offer. Love never builds a relationship on anything but what it was meant to be. Real love never questions or doubts and always understands how to navigate around life’s little mishaps to keep the love in a relationship building.
