Currently based in Los Angeles, James is an artist that crosses as many mediums as he does borders. Living out his middle namesake James is constantly on the move having been involved in artist projects and residencies in Indonesia, Austria, France, the U.K. and America.

Trained in Visual Communications in Sydney, Australia james quickly took hold of the local art scene, establishing his own artist network through the gallery SPACE3. Welcoming local artists and musicians into a collaborative space based in a romantic crumbling old bank in the heart of the city. This network quickly blossomed to hold hundreds of events, produce a hardcover 100 page catalogue, and provide the jumping point for many local artists and musicians.

His work is also as varied as his travels, encompassing editorial illustration for magazines, commissions for music group artwork (including Josh Pyke and Darren Hanlon), to working with intellectually disabled children on logo designs, to gigantic set illustrations for performances. He has also recently been involved in illustrations for an animated rebranding of ABC tv.

His work is concerned with confusions of perception and embraces personal subjectivity. Born to psychologist parents he draws from the analysis of hyperchondria, obsession, and hyper-awareness. His work crosses mediums with a consistent charm, whimsy and poetic graphic sensibility.
