Frank Jonen is a VFX freelance sup, experience designer,
photographer and writer / director.
A multi-hypenate of non-fixed career.
On early January 8th 2010 Jim Rimmer parted ways with the world. His legacy will remain as long as people value the words they read.
I met Jim in fall of 2003 and we’ve been in sporadic email contact ever since. I never met a more generous man. His wisdom and the patience of a saint when I didn’t understand some technique or questioned another.
He was one of the great ones behind the page.
Richard Kegler of P22 wrote it much better than I ever could so I better just quote parts of his posting. I hope you don’t mind, Rich.
“Jim was a multi-talented type designer, graphic artist, bookbinder, printer, letterer, technician and a most generous teacher. He was never glory-seeking and turned down most speaking engagements offered to him, not out of vanity or indifference, but rather thinking that he was not worthy of being given a spotlight.
Jim offered free typecasting instruction to anyone who asked and came to visit him in his studio in New Westminster BC.
He took as much time as needed and was generous to a fault. Anyone who took him up on this open invitation can attest to the intense and elegant chaos of his studio and work habits.”
