Jim Mahfood (born March 29, 1975, in St. Louis, Missouri), a.k.a. Food One, is an American comic book creator. Apart from his creator-owned comic book series ''Grrl Scouts'' and his comic strip ''Stupid Comics'' (which appears weekly in the ''Phoenix New Times'') he also did work for Marvel Comics on various Spider-Man titles, including ''Ultimate Marvel Team-Up'' and ''Spectacular Spider-Man''. His big break came when Oni Press hired him to illustrate two comic books based on Kevin Smith's movie ''Clerks'' from scripts by Smith, following his work on Marvel Comics ''Generation X Underground Special''. ==Career== At the age of 18 Mahfood attended the Kansas City Art Institute, where he met Mike Huddleston and formed 40 Oz Comics. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1997 and went on to produce many comics with his own unique style, heavily influenced by graffiti and underground hip hop culture. He frequently features his characters wearing t-shirts promoting local or underground hip hop, funk, jazz or punk bands. Mahfood himself is heavily involved in his local music scene, often doing live mural art during hip hop and DJ events. Mahfood also contributed to the anthology Side B: The Music Lover's Comic Anthology〔(Side B promotional website )〕 by Poseur Ink. In his contribution, he talks about his appreciation for experimental musician Gary Wilson. In 2008, Mahfood was commissioned to supply all of the art and ads for the that year's Colt 45 (malt liquor) ad campaign.〔(Colt 45 promotional website )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Mahfood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
