In recent years, comedy has taken a backseat as the 64-year-old embraces his artistic side, with a particular fondness for painting birds . But in a departure from his usual technique of painting, the Leeds-born star sketched members of the public on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, using its S Pen. Of his career switch up, Jim said: 'Painting is what I've always done. 'I've always been immersed in a creative environment, and I love exploring new techniques to take my art to the next level.' Various members of the public ad their sketches done by Jim, with one saying: 'I came on Brighton Pier for a walk and did a double take when I saw him. 'I thought – that looks like Jim Moir. And it was! It's been fabulous to sit with him and get an illustration done. 'I've been a fan of his for years – it really made my day." Aisha Mitchell, 32, from Eastbourne also had their likeness captured by the star and was similarly taken with their portrait. They said: 'I'm really pleased with the illustration – Jim did a great job, it's so full of his humour.' It comes a couple of years after the comedian had a non-removable tumour in his head which left him permanently deaf in one ear. The comedian said he had to have regular MRI scans to check the growth, which means he can't tell where cars are coming from when he partially hears them approaching){kind=link}
