Recently asked if i might like retouching an original Van Gogh.
Saying "this might be a nice addition to your resume."

Anton Loukhnovets, Senior art director of GQ Magazine.
"James has created a number of images for GQ. We are stunned
by the detailed work and craftsmanship he puts into each image.
When you come across his image on the page of the magazine
you literally want to touch it, it looks that real."
" In the age of "production porn"
James"s attention to detail is astonishing."

Nick Meglan, Original member and "Editor" of Mad Magazine.

Mouse of "Kelly and Mouse" apparently liked one of my
Grateful Dead tee shirt designs, a Rose. Eighteen years
study with 70"s Airbrush Pop artist, Kim Whitesides.

I agree with Vincent Van Gogh's belief that
"One should listen to the language of Nature." and
"There is no blue without yellow and without orange."
I believe any beauty found in my work was also learned in nature.
