Jimmy Giegerich - Blog Posts
For the past couple of months, I’ve been madly preparing for May Day in Baltimore with an event in celebration of Robin Hardy’s The Wickerman. My friend Melissa LaMartina and I organized the event complete with bands playing songs from the soundtrack, burlesque performances, an actual maypole with an actual maypole dance (thank you Chuck and Chelsea!), a humongous wickerman photobooth (seen above, featuring me in my Summerisle lady garb and our very own Lord Summerisle himself), and an art show featuring gorgeous work from artists Monica Amneus, Alan Brown, Michael Bukowski, Zé Burnay, Shirley Chan, Jeanne D'Angelo, Alex Fine, Mandi Johnson, Justine Jones, Cailin Marie, Janna Morton, Becca Stadtlander, Maureen Sullivan, and Jabari Weathers. Jimmy Giegerich also designed a shirt from Pizza Party Printing specially for the event (and you can get that shirt here). I designed and illustrated the poster, a 2-color limited-edition screen print, which you can get here for $15.
Everything about Sunday was a blast and I couldn’t be more proud of how it turned out or more thrilled by all the hard work and response by everybody involved.
And now, come. It’s time to keep your appointment with the wickerman.
I’ve been watching Jimmy work on this and LEMME TELL YA. This issue is hilarious and it’s gonna be killer! you can get your own copy by supporting his Kickstarter. Please check it out and reblog!
HOLY SCRUNGE EVERYONE! It’s official, Fight Frogs 2: Never Stop Frog Fighting is officially an official thing and it’s going to be debuting at this year’s Small Press Expo!!! Not only that, my Kickstarter for the book just launched like this very second! WHOAAAA!!!

Jimmy started the cutest, funniest daily tumblr and everyone should check it out everyday and remember the things that we loved when we were 6-year-old babies in the world.
Welcome to i like monsrs wen they fite! 20 years ago today I started second grade at an elementary school in upstate New York. My teacher had us keep daily journals where we’d write and draw pictures. I found this journal a few years ago and have decided now, exactly 20 years later, I need to share my drawings of monsters, Street Fighter II, dinosaurs, monsters, Mortal Kombat, X-Men, and monsters, as well as my teacher’s pretty passive aggressive responses to them. This blog will be updated almost daily with a new page from my journal on the day that I drew it.
SPX COMETH!
Check this oouuuuttt...
Here's "Ugs, Fugs and Grossos", 28 pages of ug-ass mugs, fug-ass fugs, and gross-ass grossos; and "Executioner and Friend", dungeons, dragons, and dick jokes, each by Jimmy Giegerich.
"Heroical #1" is an 11" X 14" zine by David Plunkert chock full of weirdo super hero stuff, and playfully off-beat heros.
The very exciting "Fantasy Basketball" by Sam Bosma will be in the mix as well and it's sure to be mind-blowingly good.
Alex Fine is debuting "Il Bruto", a hilarious collection of Charles Bronson pin ups in classic action movie rolls.
"Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri & Familiars Arcane" by yours truly will be there of course!
Two new comics from Haleigh Buck of Hey Boy Comics will be debuting as well: "Herman the Hot Dog" and "Internet Diarrhea", sure to be goofy-as-hell, wildly inappropriate, and full of schadenfreude.
Last but not least, Kali Ciesemier will be selling some gorgeous prints of her work that are not to be missed!
That's what we got for you guys! Come to tables M5-M8 to get your hands on it all! We'll see you there, pals.

I cannot adequately express how wonderful these gems are. Jimmy's brain is just a gem mine! HAM-MURDER!?? I'm going to retire.
Soooo I think I just drew my next year’s worth of tattoos that I’m getting.
The radness is overflowing!!! Jimmy's inking is so excellent.
Here’s my first piece that I did for Bits in Multiples of 8 you guys!! If you guess that I was working on an Altered Beast piece yesterday from the preview I posted, you guessed right!! I’m going to color this soon so that I can turn it into a screen printed poster, so keep you eyes peeled doods and doodettes!
My man Jimmy is putting together a zine called Bits & Multiples of 8 for video game fan art from the original Nintendo system to Nintendo 64 (Sega + Playstation included), and he's just put out a call for submissions on his blog! The cover features characters from tons of games (see if you can name them all) and will make a lovely 4-color screen print on a lovely zine full of lovely work. Check it out! It'll be rad.
