BIOGRAPHY

Jim French was an American artist, illustrator, photographer, filmmaker, and publisher. He is best known for his association with Colt Studio which he, using the pseudonym Rip Colt, (and with business partner Lou Thomas) created in late 1967. Thomas parted from the endeavour in 1974 leaving French to continue to build what would become one of the most successful gay male erotica companies in the U.S.
