Equine Art: Pokey

by Neil Jam on January 3, 2012 at 1:00 am
Posted In: Blog


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is none other than Gumby’s best pony pal, Pokey! This is the third in a series of equine portraits I’ve done, having posted the others last year. I made this Pokey more upright than we’re used to seeing him, only so that he’d fit in more with the two previous pieces in the series.

I guess there isn’t really much else to say other than I remember watching and loving the Gumby show when I was a kid. The clay animation really captured my imagination, what with the bright colors, strange shapes, and goofy voices. There was nothing else like it. Hooray for clay!

Shop, Shop ‘Til You Drop

Holiday shopping madness is upon us. Each year it feels like the craziness gets harder and harder to avoid, so as long as we’re all going crazy, we might as well get crazy with Neil Jam!

I’ve been dilligently filling up my Etsy shop with plenty of items to soothe the holiday soul. The traditional holiday offering of choice around these parts is the ever growing selection of Neil Jam Icons. This series of portraits features a cornucopia of pop culture personalities, all depicted in the trademark Neil Jam style. They are all hand drawn and come in fun little picture frames too, which only makes them that much more of the ideal gift. There’s already a sizable selection of characters listed in the shop, but I’ll be adding more in the coming days as well. So by all means, come on down and jam it up!

*Enter the code CYBERJAM and get 15% off everything in the store through Saturday! Only because I love you.

Chew On This

I was determined to draw another horse, but this time, I wanted to step it up a notch. And so it has come to this: The zebra mascot for Fruit Stripe gum. His name is Yipes, and he may very well be the most “out there” Neil Jam Icon portrait I’ve ever done. Next to Bazooka Joe, he’s gotta be the greatest thing going on the gum rack.

Yee Haw, Let’s Draw

Well, I wanted to draw a horse. That’s all there was to it. And when it comes to horses, Quick Draw McGraw is definitely the most Neil Jam worthy. I have no recollection of ever even seeing a Quick Draw McGraw cartoon, but he seems like a cool guy to me. I’d say that this piece was a success.

Holiday Shopping, Anyone?

In honor of Cyber Monday, I thought I’d share with you some new Neil Jam merch that might come in handy this holiday season. If you’re looking for something crazy for that special someone (or you), look no further than these handy Neil Jam offerings.


Neil Jam books are good for both readers and non-readers (lots of pictures). I’ve refurbished the bookstore on neiljam.com to include the recently completed Neil Jammin’ as well as a nice packaged deal for all of the Neil Jam books together. Neil Jammin’ is a compilation of the first batch of web strips that have been running on neiljam.com. It is a fun package that is sure to please.


The other major holiday offering is an ever growing selection of Neil Jam Icons over in my Etsy Shop. If you’ve seen me at a convention you surely know what these are all about, but for the uninitiated, Neil Jam Icons are a series of little portraits featuring a cornucopia of pop culture personalities, all depicted in the trademark Neil Jam style. They come in fun little picture frames too, which only makes them that much more of the ideal gift. There’s already a sizable selection of characters listed in the shop, but I’ll be adding more in the coming days, so be sure to stay tuned.

Thank you, and have a happy holiday season.
Love,
Neil (Jam)

Attack Of The Neil Jam Icons

by Neil Jam on July 14, 2010 at 8:07 am
Posted In: Blog


Just thought I’d give y’all a little taste of some of the Neil Jam Icons that have been percolating here at Neil Jam central. On the left, from the world of comic books, we have Beast, of the X-men. He has a nice blue, furry quality that makes him fun to draw. And on the right, from the world of children’s books, we have Babar, king of the elephants. The dude runs things.

As usual, these were made with markers and ink on 2.5″x3.5″ bristol board. Drop me a line if you’d like to call one of these your very own. I’ll pop ‘em in a little frame to make it official. Otherwise you can expect to see them at a convention near you. And don’t forget to check out some other pieces that I have on sale for cheap over in my Etsy shop.

Call The Plumber

Of all the Neil Jam Icons I’ve crafted up, from convention to convention, Mario is always among the most popular. From regular Mario, to Dr. Mario, to Tanooki Mario and so on, they never fail to garner an audience. And so I’ve decided to go a step further. Have I taken it too far? You be the judge.

Still Crankin’ Out Those Neil Jam Icons

avatar and friend
I’m always on the lookout for new and different personalities to add my Neil Jam flair to, as they are a lot of fun to do. Here are a couple of my most recent concoctions.

On the left we have the main dude from Avatar, a movie I thoroughly enjoyed. Props to Hollywood for making a “big time” movie that isn’t a sequel, remake, or adaptation of some sort. A little originality can go a long way.

On the right is a bad guy from the DC universe called “Composite Superman.” I had never heard of this guy before I found him on one of my exploratory strolls through the internet. I think he might be more of an old school villain. As you can see, he is half Superman, half Batman, and has green skin. I know nothing else aside from the fact that he looks pretty cool.

As usual, these were made with markers and ink on 2.5″x3.5″ bristol board. Drop me a line if you’d like to call one of these your very own. I’ll pop ‘em in a little frame to make it official. Otherwise you can expect to see them at a convention near you or maybe in my Etsy shop. Word up!

Neil Jam Icons in need of a happy home

by Neil Jam on October 19, 2009 at 4:04 pm

Now that convention season is over I’m left with a bunch of Neil Jam Icons in need of a happy home. Before I go through the trouble of listing each one individually in my Etsy shop, I figured I’d just let you know about them here. These original art pieces feature a cornucopia of pop culture figures each depicted in the trademark Neil Jam style. They are made with ink and markers on bristol board and come in ready-to-display frames. The majority of these pieces are 2.5″x3.5,” though there are some that are 2.5″x3.”

The going rate on these is $12 for each piece, as well as additional shipping costs, and I’m usually willing to make deals for anyone interested in multiple pieces. And I suppose if you have a character in mind that you don’t see here I might very well be able to craft that up for you as well. Just email me to let me know if any of these strike your fancy or if you have any questions — neil (at) neiljam.com
