Jim Smith Ren and Stimpy Layout Drawings For Sale


Jim Smith is one of the most talented artists I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Jim heard that the Archive was doing a fundraising drive, so he dug in his closet to find drawings for us to sell for him. A portion of the proceeds from these auctions will be going to support the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive. The opening bid is low, so you've got no excuse but to bid. Here's your chance to own a great drawing from the original Ren & Stimpy Show and help the Archive at the same time! Thanks Jim!
