Description: Oil on linen painting titled, "'CEO (with gold tie)" by Jim Morin of Miami. Signed lower left.

History: Jim Morin (born January 30, 1953 in Washington, D.C.) is the internationally syndicated editorial cartoonist at the Miami Herald since 1978 and a painter, usually working in the medium of oil, of more than 40 years. His cartoons have included extensive commentary on eight U.S. presidents: Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.Morin was raised in the Boston suburb of Wayland. He began drawing at age seven. As an avid watcher of the television cartoons of the day (particularly the work of Hanna-Barbera), Morin began to develop his own cartoon characters, some of which were registered in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office by his father, attorney Charles H. Morin.He attended the Rivers School in Weston, Massachusetts and Suffield Academy in Connecticut, and studied painting and drawing at Syracuse University under Jerome Witkin. "He was the only teacher I had who saw cartoons as paintings, as art," Morin says. "Painting has made me more conscious.. . . My paintings affect my drawings and vice versa."
