Jim'll Paint It is an internet blog featured on Tumblr and other social networking sites started on February 21, 2013 by James Murray, a speed painter from Bristol, England. The title is a pun on Jimmy Savile's long-running television series Jim'll Fix It.
The blog consists of mostly humorous and surreal artwork painted by Murray using only Microsoft Paint, by request from Tumblr users.
Murray has produced over 100 paintings since 2013. The first piece featured dinosaurs painting people in an art class.
