Jim Keefe is the artist of the Sally Forth comic strip, written by Francesco Marciuliano. Sally Forth is syndicated worldwide by King Features.
A graduate of the Joe Kubert School, Jim started his career as the head colorist at King Features Syndicate coloring such world-renowned strips as Blondie, Beetle Bailey and Hagar the Horrible.
From 1996-2003 he was the writer and artist of Flash Gordon for King Features Syndicate.
Teaching and speaking engagements include SVA in Manhattan, Hofstra’s UCCE Youth Programs, the University of Minnesota and most recently the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

My Patreon is a catch basin for all the things that I’ve learned in a career spanning some 30+ years.
It includes…
• A look behind the curtain of how I draw the Sally Forth comic strip. • Spotlights on Cartoonists. • A myriad of info in regards to tips and tools of the trade, and the business side of cartooning • And last but not least, previews of new projects I’m working on.

I use white-out and razor/x-acto knife techniques in the production of my original art. I’ve tried to make the images posted reflect that.
For Flash Gordon Sunday pages, the logo is pasted on. All the rest of the lettering is hand lettered.

– COMMISSIONS –
Unfortunately, I’m not accepting any commission work at this time, and I don’t see my schedule opening up in the foreseeable future.
I’ve tried unsuccessfully to carve out time for commission requests for years, but it just wasn’t happening. Too much other stuff on my plate.
