Hi.

Thanks for checking out my stuff. It’s all the result of a bunch of goofing around and having fun. I truly believe that’s where all the best ideas are created, even big serious ones. 

For as long as I can remember I’ve been making things.  Funny things, cool things, things human people want to look at and poke with sticks. It wasn’t until I wandered into the creative department of an ad agency that I realized I’d accidentally prepared myself for a career.  

Wanna make some stuff?

Hit me up. Jim@Jimbernardin.com
