About The Illustrator
Born in Sheffield, James studied illustration at Wolverhampton University after a childhood of sketching and painting. He worked for years as an in-house illustrator for greeting card publishers like Hallmark, creating both branded and original work. This helped him master various styles and media. Though much of his work is now digital, he still enjoys sketching line-art and painting by hand.
