James spun towards the island UK, on planet Earth encased in a glowing green asteriod, arriving in a ball of flame in 2003.

He started drawing soon after that and is now based in London.

James spontaneously appeared in 2003 and started drawing soon after that. He rarely comes up for air. Right now he is drawing in London in a small box he calls home.

CHATTY FEET



In early 2023 I had the opportunity to work with the brand Chatty Feet, who primarily design socks in the likeness of various celebraties and charcaters from throughout history. I had the chance to design a sock for Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the primary founder of the internet.
This project consisted of vigourous research and development. I really enjoyed rooting around to find the key aspects that capture the likeness of Sir Berners-Lee, and find the most efficient way to convey his achievements.

TIM BERNERS-KNEE!




Tim Berners-Knee is LIVE on the Chatty Feet website right now!
PUT THEM ON YOUR TOES!!!




Part of the commission schedule meant that I needed five potential outcomes to bring to Chatty Feet before getting feedback and working towards the final outcome. I used this opportunity to explore the vast opsibilities that I could explore so that those at Chatty Feet had pleanty of choice whne it came to developing a final design.

Following the five experiments and the feedback I got I was able to return to developments, closing in on my portrayl of Sir Berners-Lee. This primarily explored using iconography to convey Berners-Lee’s relationship to the internet. Working to undertsnad people and how their brains recognise images is more and mroe fascinating to me, expecially as I was working with Chatty Feet here.
