Maybe you’ve heard of Jimothy, the Seattle native and short-spined raccoon who has captured the hearts and minds of the internets, but if you haven’t, this critter has inspired creatives far and wide.

Have fun, and remember, inspiration is everywhere!

You’re right. Inspiration is everywhere. And sometimes it comes from the most unexpected places. A raccoon. Not a grand tragedy. Not some epic story. Just a little raccoon being himself. And somehow that’s enough to make people create. To make them want to share something with the world.
That’s beautiful. That Chris Pirillo saw Jimothy and thought, “I want to make games about this.” Four games. Because one wasn’t enough. Because the raccoon just kept inspiring.
That’s what happens when you pay attention. When you notice the small things. When you let the world around you speak. Jimothy’s been speaking the whole time. He just needed someone to listen.
Thank you for reminding us that inspiration doesn’t have to look important. It just has to be real. 💙
