What’s it all about?

I’m James Michael Sullivan.

I was born on June 13, 1946 in Goshen, New York.

My parents – Timothy Joseph Sullivan Jr. and Anna Louise Johnson.

I guess I was known as Jim, or maybe Jimmy, in my youngest years. In 1959 my mother and I moved from Highland Mills, NY to Worcester MA. At that time people started calling me Sully. That lasted through my high school and college days and all the way to 1977. I graduated from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMass Amherst that year and decided that during job interviews it was easier to introduce myself as Jim. In 2007 I moved to Shelburne Falls, MA and a friend suggested I start using James and that is how I am known now ( although I still respond to being called Sully and Jim from people who knew me at the time I used those names ). One guy – three names – Sully, Jim and James.

This web site will trace a bit of my creative endeavors’ history and will feature some of the characters I’ve brought into the world ( with the help of some great artists – Nelson Giles and Micha Archer ), plus some of my phavorite and phun photos, and, it has a few tidbits from my general life journey as well.
