The blog consists of mostly humorous and surreal artwork painted by Murray using only Microsoft Paint, by request from Tumblr users.[1] Murray has produced over 100 paintings since 2013. The first piece featured dinosaurs painting people in an art class. The title is an allusion to the BBC TV series Jim'll Fix It.
