Jim Connolly is an illustrator, designer
and commercial artist from Sheffield, England. He is best known for creating comic book style designs for album/single covers,
concert posters, magazine articles and silkscreen prints. His style features loud and brash bubblegum colours and comical
characters usually drawn with a sharp vectorized look. The dominant features of his work usually include comic book, science
fiction and horror references, often with a UK slant. Beyond his comic book style work he has also worked in a variety of
different styles as an illustrator and designer, mainly on outsourced E-Learning games for the BBC and Channel 4 via several
E-Learning companies.
Sheffield Superheroes is a series of original screenprints
by Jim Connolly produced in our new studio depicting the lives of ordinary and not so ordinary Sheffield folk in the style
of comic books and graphic novels. Six are planned in the first series, and they are likely to be very collectible, with references
to the best-loved features of contemporary life in the city, its iconic buildings, people and things. And foods... It's
a fantasy world of flying saucers and flying sauces, spiced up with some helpful superpowers to make life in the Steel City
rival Smallville, Gotham and Metropolis.
The prints are available as signed original screenprints in limited
editions of 150 (approx 75x55cm), or as open edition digitally printed posters (A3 sized, 32x42cm). Both sizes are available
framed or unframed and can be bought online below, or directly from our premises on Sidney Street, Sheffield. To find out more about each image, use the links below
