On August 14, through The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, I opted to foster Rorogoi, a beautiful elephant orphan. Born August 10, 2012, Rorogoi was 14 months old when she was rescued by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Following a likely incident of poaching, Rorogoi survived for over a month on her own. How she did this is a…

“Hello August,” said the Elephant.
“Hello August,” said the Elephant. August could not reply, for August was nothing tangible with which the Elephant could communicate. But the Elephant knew she was in the presence of August – in the presence of the waning African winter. She had survived another minute – another hour – another day – another month. She’d survived another season, and…
New Art | The Faces of Elephants
It’s been just about a month since I’ve shared any new art with you – that’s because I’ve been busy working on various other projects (ex. Boug & S’More: A Swamp Tale [novel] and a poetic sexual odyssey), which you could note by following me on twitter or Instagram (@TheBobbyJames). Yesterday I managed to create two…
The Bobby James Awards: A Comment and Update
As you may or may not be aware, The Bobby James Awards date back to 2002, when I decided to create a year-end list for the “Best of WWE.” Since that time, I’ve expanded my year-end rankings to include movies, television, music and TNA Impact Wrestling. This post, however, is about the film categories and…
A Media Comment: Animated Feature ≠ “Kid’s Movie”
Have you seen DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon 2 yet? If not, do so – it’s a fantastic animated feature that, in a roundabout way, is the basis for this post. While I was surfing Facebook, I saw Moviepilot Animation’s article: So Let’s Talk About How To Train Your Dragon’s Gay Character. Upon completing the…
New Art: Nina, Mya and Queen Isis
Last week, there was a bit of a clown craze. This week, I’m tackling sexy. The three pieces I present here, Mya, Nina, and Queen Isis, all began with an idea for hair. Nina was first in this group. On my wall there’s a Marilyn Monroe poster. I looked at that to draw inspiration, but…
New Art: Enter the Circus!
I’m on a clown craze lately! I’m beginning to think I’m designing creepy clowns to overcome my fear of them? I have to prepare for the upcoming Freakshow season of American Horror Story, after all. That said, there are a few pieces to introduce to the new (organically so) collection! First I’ll begin with Burlesque. …
New Art: Spray!
Guess what? I drew an ELEPHANT! That should come as no surprise. The true surprise of Spray! though is that upon finishing the outline, I hated this piece – but, instead of scrapping the piece altogether, I had an instinct to make it work. I added a squiggle here and there, some contrasting lines and…
New Art: In the Garden
I spent the last couple days working on a new piece titled In the Garden. After receiving some feedback that people would like to see my work feature more women, I decided to deliver. In the Garden is a piece I hope translates to represent serenity and beauty. After sketching the image, I took a break to decide the color…
Happy Mother’s Day! I present: “The Life of Flowers”
If you’re like me, you go to Hallmark and various other places looking for that one Mother’s Day card that represents your mom. Then, you go in search of the perfect complimentary gift, whether that be a bouquet of flowers, a trinket for her garden, or something else. Either way, the woman you’re honoring today is your mother – so the…
