Hello, my name is Jason James, a character designer and illustrator with a 25-year career in animation, illustration, and interactive design. I bring to the table a unique combination of expertise in vector computer illustration and traditional pen-and-ink illustration, allowing me to adapt to a wide variety of artistic and storytelling needs. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with some of the most recognizable names in entertainment and media, including Warner Media (Cartoon Network, Fox Kids, TCM), Amazon Kindle, The UK Film Council, and Future Publishing (Computer Arts Magazine, 3D World Magazine). My work spans multiple industries, offering me a broad perspective and deep understanding of storytelling, visual branding, and audience engagement. My experience is diverse yet focused: Animation: Creating dynamic characters and worlds for screens large and small. Game Design: Contributing to immersive experiences, including work for Roblox. Interactive Storytelling: Pioneering projects like the first interactive children's book for Amazon Kindle. Publishing and Mobile Media: Designing comics and illustrations tailored for digital platforms. What sets me apart is my ability to seamlessly blend creativity with technical skill, ensuring each project not only looks stunning but also resonates deeply with its audience. My dual illustrative styles—precise vector art and expressive traditional ink—enable me to cater to a wide range of client needs, whether it’s a clean, modern aesthetic or a richly detailed, hand-crafted look. If you’re looking for someone with a passion for storytelling, a proven track record in the creative industries, and the ability to transform ideas into compelling visuals, I’d love to bring your vision to life.
