Jim Siergey is an American cartoonist started his career as a freelance cartoonist in the early 1980s. With Tom Roberts, he created the long-running comic strip "Cultural Jet Lag" which appeared in many alternative press publications. Cultural Jet Lag also appeared as a regular feature in Time magazine from 1997-2001. The strip also had a run as a regular feature in USA Weekend Sunday magazine. Cultural Jet Lag dealt with high and low culture with no regard for time and space. Fantagraphics Books published a "Cultural Jet Lag" comic book collection in 1991. Siergey was also active in the mini-comic "newave" movement of the 1980s, known for his series of "nart" books that dealt with surrealism and puns. He is featured prominently in "Newave", a hardbound historical look and collection of comics from that period, also published by Fantagraphics. As an animator, he worked on many commercials as well as educational and industrial films in the 1980s and 90s. -- courtesy of Michael Limnios Blues Network

Jim Siergey says: “I have been a freelance artist since the 1980s, in both cartoon illustration and animation. I work and play well with others. I love collaboration. I am also adept at taking a concept and molding it into something unique. In the field of cartoon illustration, I have written and drawn a comic strip that has seen print in hundreds of various types of publications. I wrote and drew a regular feature for both Time magazine and USA Weekend. I have done cartoon illustrations for books, magazines, periodicals, pamphlets, invitations---just about any type of printed matter. In the field of animation, I have done character animation as well as designed characters, storyboards and worked on scripts. I have overseen animation projects. I would love to continue doing work in both of these fields. I am available for concept, design and execution of a variety of projects---from the personal to the professional. No job is too large or too small. They're all "just right".” -- courtesy of Michael Limnios Blues Network
