Jamie Smart is an internationally renowned writer, speaker, coach and consultant. He shows individuals and organizations the unexpected keys to clarity; the ultimate leverage point for creating more time, better decisions and meaningful results. The Secret Book” by James Smart is a work set on a mysterious island that is the home of “Flember,” a mystical and strange power. Going to college allowed him to tap into the mental space so that he could better explore and put out some very innovative works. Vividly-coloured, dynamic illustrations throughout may appeal particularly to reluctant readers but most 7–11-year-olds will enjoy the anarchic humour and plentiful fart and poo jokes. James believes that the ideal world is one in which digital and print will coexist, even if they are two parts of the whole.

In “The Glowing Skull,” Dev and BOJA his best friend make a return in what is an interesting adventure in Prospertu, a mega modern and high-tech city.

These comics start out normally, until the title character starts doing something his own way and/or just uses his own imagination, and things escalate from there all the way to the end of each comic, with lots of hilarious antics! PIGS! Watch out! Wherever Looshkin the cat goes, chaos follows. If you enjoy crazy chases, random animals popping up and bonkers costumes, this second Looshkin book is for you. Here, Looshkin confuses some astronauts, terrifies some aliens, becomes the head of marketing for a day (because he’s wearing a tie) and gives a garden gnome the adventure of a lifetime. This is but a fraction of the inventive antics of this irrepressible cat. Poor Bear often bears the brunt of Looshkin’s energy, along with the rest of the family, and although the events are surreal and hectic, there are lots of laughs throughout. With themes as diverse as filling Bunny’s house with custard and distorting the fabric of time and space, the latest instalment in the Bunny vs Monkey universe is as hilarious and wildly imaginative as ever. He has now worked in both print and online writing digital works but still prefers print as a mode for transmitting his work. It was in 2002 that he sent them four different comic strip ideas and they went with Bear which they felt was the right fit. Being given the freedom to pen and do whatever he wanted with his comic was one of the biggest milestones of his career.There is a battle in progress that has to do with who will harness the Flember’s magical powers. The big question is will Boja and Dev be on the right side of the war?

It makes for amazing work with a good story and interesting characters that also combine sad moments with some hilarious jokes that set up perfectly for the following titles in the series.

Writing “Bear” was probably his most personal and exciting moment. However, his proudest work has to be when he published “Find Chaffy,” his children’s book, and when he was contracted to write the weekly “Bunny vs Monkey” for The Phoenix. It was also his parents who encouraged him to attend art college which gave him a lot of freedom that he needed to become the excellent comic book author that he is today. Boja and Dev make for some fantastic characters yet again, even as they fail and make all manner of blunders but do their best to try to fix the many things that they break. Mae’r darluniadau’n byrlymu ag egni ac mae llu o jôcs a sefyllfaoedd gwirion yn dod un ar ôl y llall. Byddwch chi’n chwerthin yn eich dyblau wrth ddarllen am gastiau Looshkin – ‘y gath fwyaf gwallgof erioed’.

Casgliad o stribedi comig byr ydy hwn, pob un â’i linell stori ei hun, gan ei wneud yn hawdd i fynd i mewn ac allan o fyd Looshkin. Er bod y digwyddiadau’n swrrealaidd a gwyllt, mae yna lawer o chwerthin drwyddo draw.He loves to say that while he went to college to study art, he only did it so that he could have an excuse to draw animals with weird eyes. James Smart also got inspiration from reading comics and graphic novels as a child growing up. As a child, he loved reading a wide variety of comics such as “Whizzer And Chips,” “Buster,” “Topper,” “Beano,” and “Dandy.” Bear is known to date human women, much to Karl's surprise, and he spends a good deal of his time fantasizing about being a ladies' man or a gentleman in a Jane Austen novel. He has also regularly published his popular “Looshkin” and “Bunny vs Monkey” stories in The Phoenix comic in addition to several children’s graphic novels.
