the new Jim Ward Morris archival digital prints titled, MIDCENTURY and POSTMODERN have been described as "imagery inspired by advertising from the 1950's & 1960's, certainly Joan Holloway and the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency from the TV show Mad Men would absolutely love this work."

the new prints use a minimal modern design with cool images and brilliant colors juxtaposed.

Jim Ward Morris lives in Bellingham Washington with his absolutely fabulous and totally cool wife Carly (who he loves very much)...plus they have two children (who they love very much), a daughter Pearl (who goes to sleep way too late each night) and a son Huggins (who wakes up way too early each morning).
