The Planet Of The You Know Whats © Jim Fitzpatrick

We hope you've enjoyed this peek into the whimsical and fun side of Jim Fitzpatrick. You can find these pieces for sale as prints,
phone cases, pillows, greeting cards, and other items at his artist website. However, if you would like to see his more conventional
work, which is beautiful, you will also find it at his site here: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/jim-fitzpatrick.html
If you are interested in any of Jim's books you can find them through Amazon, although
Roller Derby Classics and When I shot Good & Bad Guys tend to be very pricey through
Amazon. I would recommend contacting Jim directly through his artist website to inquire
about where to purchase them for a lower price. His book for children, I Have A Chin! A
Japanese Chin is very reasonably priced at $14.99.
The ebook Best of Activism in Art: I is available through Barnes & Noble as a free digital
download, which you can find here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-of-activismin-art-sarah-s-vati/1114998854

Feel like seeing a bit more about Jim and his involvement with Roller Derby? Fortunately we have YouTube, which makes viewing
of old footage possible. You can see Jim in action as a San Francisco Bay Bomber in 1982 here: https://youtu.be/vedkUBqbShw .
Here, you can listen to Jim talk about the real history of Roller Derby. Apparently there was supposed to be a part 2 but I have not
been able to locate it: https://youtu.be/uImyMRYmTk8
And finally, enjoy some classic rock while looking for Jim being a Roller Derby stunt skater in the McAuley Schenker Group's MTV
video for their song Love Is Not A Game. You can see the video here: https://youtu.be/Vfw7HSi524Q .
