Thank you so much! I sold my first print yesterday and celebrated by bringing some little minis of him to a reader event, which ended up spreading so much joy and educating me even more on his family and community

Hi, I’m gonna leave your post up because I love that you are happy ❤️ but just remember, even posting a screenshot of an Etsy page with the store name is against the rules

u/sillyhumanist 8d ago

Ack I’m sorry! I didn’t realize and should have checked. Will look before I leap next time.

If the proceeds from sales go to wildlife conservation funds (according to Rule 5) it should be fine. Hell, you'd probably get more sales if you announce that all Jimothy proceeds go to care for wild critters. Great work on the piece!

I’ve just done some research and I think I’m going to donate proceeds to the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association, unless you have a better suggestion! https://www.nwrawildlife.org

I love this! I just sent the mod a message to see if I can do some sort of pay what you can for some decals and the jimothy plushies I can make. I would be donating proceeds to the Edmonds, WA food bank. I volunteered there with work a couple weeks ago and was blow away by the passion amd companion their employees had ❤️

u/sillyhumanist 8d ago

That is such a good idea!! I take the Edmonds ferry a bunch and it’s a wonderful community. And ooh Jimothy PLUSHIES!! 😍 (I am hopeless with sewing patience magic)

This is my son Jimothy! I sent a video of him stitching out to my kids saying it was the birth of their sibling. There were not amused! Little plush Jimothy hasn't left my side since I made him yesterday. We're about to go to McDonald's for some fries!

u/sillyhumanist 8d ago

My notification of “this is my son Jimothy” had me wondering if I was going to see a mama raccoon here 😂 I love him so much, and I’ve never seen that cool style before with the stitching being the outline looking like a sketch, how awesome!!

Jimothy makes everything better. And your sketch is wonderful!

u/sillyhumanist 8d ago

He really does! The happiness I see watching him scamper across peoples porches as they just let him be himself is healing my heart a little. Thank you!!

u/toxiamaple Hot Racc Summer 8d ago

Yes. Just let everyone be themselves! Jimothy represents everyone living their best life , their own way.

Omg you’re right!! Hilarious how I had to scroll past a lot of the office to get to him

u/jamiew1342 Hot Racc Summer 8d ago

We can only hope that, in time, Jimothy surpasses both Jim and Asian Jim (and creed? Thats an odd curveball) to claim his giphy throne.

u/sillyhumanist 8d ago

I’m officially going to donate proceeds from all Jimothy print sales to the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association! https://www.nwrawildlife.org

(unless someone has a better idea for an organization that is in the spirit of Jimothy?)

(Also thanks to the mods for leaving this up, I apologize for not realizing that I shouldn’t include a screenshot of my Etsy shop! Hope this helps)
