He might want to rethink the branding there...

I don't think so, he seemed to hit right about the time Operation Yewtree began, it's almost entirely a British sense of humour that he's drawing to, and the majority of people I know, despite the atrocities of what Savile did, seem to find it hilarious that everybody knew he was a blatant pedophile, but nobody did a thing.

Blimey I remember looking at Jim'll Paint It about 2 years ago and his paint skills sucked (as do mine - coupled with the limitations of MS Paint). Now he seems pretty damn good. His 'Tragic Roundabout' is beautiful. I never really thought that you could get good at art by .. well doing art. Nice one Jim.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why? Looks like he's doing fine as-is.

Yes, I understand the association. Again: why? It seems he's doing fine as-is. I don't see what harm it does him.

That's the nature of practice and constantly attempting, regardless of the outcome. It should be a lesson in getting good at any activity.
