He began drawing at age seven. As an avid watcher of the television cartoons of the day (particularly the work of Hanna-Barbera), Morin began to develop his own cartoon characters, some of which were registered in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office by his father, attorney Charles H. Morin. He attended the Rivers School in Weston, Massachusetts and Suffield Academy in Connecticut, and studied painting and drawing at Syracuse University under Jerome Witkin. "He was the only teacher I had who saw cartoons as paintings, as art," Morin says. "Painting has made me more conscious.. . . My paintings affect my drawings and vice versa."〔Bramson, Dara. "Crossover Cartoonist." Miami Monthly, February, 2007.〕 During his time at Syracuse, he was the editorial cartoonist for ''The Daily Orange''. Following college, Morin served a brief stint as the editorial cartoonist at the ''The Beaumont Enterprise'' before moving on to Richmond, Virginia, where he spent one year as the editorial cartoonist at the ''Richmond Times-Dispatch''. During his time in Richmond, Morin became a close professional acquaintance of Jeff MacNelly, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist at the ''Richmond News Leader''. Upon MacNelly's passing in 2000, Morin accepted the invitation of colleague Dave Barry to contribute to ''(A Quiet Genius: Remembering Jeff MacNelly )''. Morin commented on his cartoon work prior to the 2008 election: 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 Morin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
