We’ve all seen the TV shows/movies where the intrepid hero saves the life of a choking character by nicking open the throat and making a breathing tube out of a pen or whatever else is handy. While it makes for great drama, it isn’t the sort of thing you expect happens all that often in real life.

‘Jim’ is an artist with the Microsoft Paint program. According to his ‘Jim’ll Paint It‘ Tumblr, that’s all he uses to produce pieces requested by his fans.
I am here to make your wildest dreams a reality using nothing but Microsoft Paint (no tablets, no touch ups).
