James's pictures tend to raise a question in the mind. For years, he has worked as an illustrator, tasked with distilling information and conveying it metaphorically in visual form. In his personal work, the client is himself, and the subjects are the thorny conundrums of life. After painting for years, James now also works in Photoshop, starting with a drawing and incorporating various textures. James graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1980 and has been illustrating since then. His influences are vast, running from Fra Angelico to Rene Magritte and beyond. Clients have included : U.S. Postal Service, Reebok, Polygram Records, Rykodisc, Windham Hill, Strathmore Paper, Price Waterhouse, Astra-Merck Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson, Working Assets, George Washington University, Columbia University, Harvard University, New York University, Johns Hopkins University, Trent University, Princeton University, Random House, Simon & Schuster, Harper-Collins, Time Magazine, Newsweek Magazine, Business Week, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The L.A. Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Reader's Digest, as well as many others.
