Jim Mahfood

Jim Mahfood, aka Food One, is an American underground artist whose style is pure graffiti-and-hip-hop energy: scratchy inks, chaotic crowded layouts, funky lettering and a raw DIY punk attitude. His pages feel alive and hand-made, closer to street art and album covers than to polished mainstream comics.

His creator-owned flagship is Grrl Scouts, collected in trade and hardcover form, and he is a defining modern artist on Tank Girl, extending that anarchic property with his own frenetic look. He also drew Clerks comics with Kevin Smith and a wave of indie and licensed work that shares the same loud, countercultural voice.
