Holy crap. I really want one of these. I’m broke as a joke right now so it’s not going to happen but wow this is an amazing piece of art and for those of you that do have some extra ‘dough’ to part with you may want to pick one of these up while the picking is good!
Is anyone else thinking that THIS could be the cause of a zombified Homer Simpson?
Night of the Living Doughnuts!
Mr. Jimmies was a mild mannered doughnut, just doing his regular shift at the greasy spoon diner. One fateful night a police officer staggers in… green, incoherent, mumbling. Before Jimmies could get out a concerned “May I help you Sir!?” … the officer chomped!
Reeling back, bloodied and in shock, Jimmies realized his fate was sealed. The officer was one of the newly turned “undead”….

This is a limited edition, hand painted, cast resin sculpture from an original I made in polymer clay. Each one is meticulously hand painted by me, including all 102 sprinkles! Each figure is signed and numbered on the bottom. Please note, each one is hand painted and small variations do occur. For instance, each sprinkle color configuration will be slightly different. How unique and cute is that!?

You can pick it up directly from The Art of John Sumrow!
I am not much of a collector, but Sumrow posted pix during the creation process on this guy, from drawings to casting to painting, and I fell in love with this undead wonder from the beginning. The hardest part was choosing between pink or green!
Mr Jimmies has been stealing the dregs of our morning coffee for a few days now, and I’ve gotta tell you–the detail is even more amazing in person! Even my teen daughter thinks its cool.
I figure many people spend a buck a day on a paper; and most of the time it doesnt make you smile. Whereas Mr Jimmies cracks me up every day.
Check it out.
I completely agree! I’m hoping he’s still got him on sale once I have some free money laying around again as I hope to be able to pick one up. Love the look!
