Jim K. Benton (born October 31, 1960) is an American illustrator and writer. Licensed properties he has created include Dear Dumb Diary , Dog of Glee, Franny K. Stein , Just Jimmy, Just Plain Mean, Sweetypuss, The Misters, Meany Doodles, Vampy Doodles, Kissy Doodles, and the jOkObo project, but he is probably most known for his creation It's Happy Bunny .
Early life and education [ edit ]
Jim Benton was raised in Birmingham, Michigan , graduating from Seaholm High School in 1978. He studied fine arts at Western Michigan University .[1]
Benton began his career in a Shirt shop where he started designing his own characters on T-shirts. At the same time, he did illustrations and artwork for magazines and newspapers.[2] People magazine named him "one of the most visible cartoonists in America."[3]
Benton also created greeting cards and worked in the magazine and publishing industry. In 1998, his SpyDogs characters became an animated series, The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs , that aired on Fox Kids . Licensing his own creations brought them widespread attention on products, such as It's Happy Bunny, which he created in the mid-1990s but licensed in 2002.[4]
Benton lives in Birmingham, Michigan, where he operates out of his own studio. He is married with two children.
