Hi I'm Steve James, a digital artist based near the vibrant City of Leeds in West Yorkshire. My art blends digital creativity in Photoshop with the warmth of traditional sketching. Crafting lovable characters brimming with humor is my forte, and I thrive on exploring diverse styles, from intricate details to minimalist charm. Inspiration comes from a variety of sources including books, video games and the beautiful countryside at my doorstep, I infuse my creations with a touch of whimsy that sets them apart.

Within my portfolio, you'll find a tapestry of work that reflect my passion for art, such as illustrating funny picture books like 'Thunder Down Under' or providing detailed creature artwork for a deep sea jigsaw, I aim to inspire and entertain through my work. With a background in Graphic Design and a knack for animation, I breathe life into characters and concepts, drawing clients back with my speed, humor, and unwavering commitment to each project.

Drawing inspiration from childhood favorites like Looney Tunes and Beano comics, I weave nostalgia and innovation into my art. Exploring bookshops and rediscovering old sketches fuel my creativity, while family time and playing guitar helps keep me balanced. As a creative soul dedicated to spreading joy and entertainment, I love having the opportunity to touch hearts and minds through my art, resonating with the likes of my imaginative young daughter.
