Jimi Biscuits is the professional pseudonym of Harry Waine, a prolific illustrator and graphic designer based in the United Kingdom. The artist originates from the post industrial landscape of the UK, a setting that often informs the gritty and vibrant aesthetic found in his diverse portfolio. Waine has described the persona of Jimi Biscuits as a red and yellow colour blind familiar that was conceptually exorcised during a transformative ayahuasca ceremony, leading to a body of work that focuses on the bizarre and joyful aspects of life. This origin story serves as the foundation for the self created mythology and lore that frequently appears in his illustrations and iconographic explorations.

The career of Jimi Biscuits has seen significant expansion through high profile collaborations and the release of limited edition prints that have gained traction within the poster collector community. In late 2022, he participated in the Critical Guest Artist Series, a collaboration with Critical Music that featured a limited edition t shirt line and accompanying sticker sets. This partnership highlighted his signature style, which is almost always defined by a restricted palette of red and yellow, quirky captions, and recurring smiley face motifs. His presence in the limited edition market is further cemented by his work with Paperwallet, where he has designed collectible functional art pieces such as the Rubble Slim Wallet.

In the realm of physical exhibitions, Jimi Biscuits has moved beyond digital spaces to participate in curated shows. He was a featured artist in The Bloc, an exhibition that showcased four creative professionals from the advertising industry who presented their personal art, illustrations, and paintings. This show allowed collectors to view his recognizable graphic style in a traditional gallery setting alongside other contemporary peers. His work has also been supported by specialized printing studios like Well Nice Prints, which has praised the artist's unique visual language.

Key pieces of art that have defined his output include the Fragment design and the Wreckage sticker series, the latter of which was released as a limited drop for dedicated followers. These works often sell out quickly due to their scarcity and the artist's growing reputation among enthusiasts of underground graphic design. While his educational background remains largely personal, his professional trajectory from advertising to independent artist has allowed him to cultivate a distinct brand that resonates with collectors looking for bold, minimalist, and surreal imagery.
