Jimmy Wadkins
No Christmas K this year, no pooping deers, drunk Santa, weird deer porn - none of this.
Last weekend we lost Jimmy.
A unique human - talented - unruly - hilarious - unexpected.
Jimmy, I’m sure would hate being celebrated - so we’re going to go even harder on him…
Sorry Jimmy…
I personally started working with Jimmy back in xxx he was designing I was building and we were making Flash games at Real451 - it was fun real good old fun - I was amazed by how much love this guy was pouring into his craft - designing - animating - creating little worlds out of a few pixels - proud to be gluing it all together trying to match the energy and learning what fun looked like.
A few years later he joined us at Koffeecup and through small prints, strange animation and generally unmanaged genius helped us shape what Koffeecup is - making the brand and shaping the culture more than he would ever admit.
He was a real artist - unmanageable and talented - good luck mentioning deadlines.
Wherever you are - I hope the whiskey is flowing
