Hello, I'm James. I live in London and keep myself busy with illustration, web & graphic design, animation and the occasional bit of music. Have a look at my website to find out a bit more about me.
If think my illustration style might suit your project, would like me to design something for you, enjoy something you've seen here or simply want to say hello, please get in touch - just send an email to james@jshedden.com or find me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ & Flickr.
If there's anything you'd like to ask via Tumblr, you can do so here.
I also have another blog for more general & personal things that perhaps don't directly relate to my professional art & design work - have a look!
I'm very grateful for whatever help you can provide in the way of sharing my work via the various methods below:
Still no new illustration! Working away on websites, and now an animation - collaborating with Helen on a piece for the latest Hoshal Patrick song.
Until then, to keep you going - some ideas for the Victoria & Jacob artwork (above) that didn’t make the grade.
And some links:
I like Tadahiro Uesugi (illustration link at the bottom).
Some scans of Tove Jansson’s non-Moomin illustrations.
Have tidied room, initiated laundry load, had cup of tea and listened to The White Album - already a productive day, I’m sure you’ll agree…
Nice images from Bjorn Rune Lie - I particularly enjoy the panoramic scenes.
Illustrator Yunmee Kyong - good interview and lovely Flickr set.
Must make my way through this list of Steven Heller podcasts.
GWC @ Arthur Comics, by Jesse Moynihan (Begins 5 pages in - first 5 pages from that link are the final chapter)
Some links I have enjoyed recently:
Good illustrations by Josh Holinaty - my favourites are in the editorial section.
A cool article with contributions from many artists & designers about overcoming one’s creative block - nice-looking blog too.
ShareSomeCandy has loads of good stuff - check out ‘workspaces’ for some interesting pictures of other people’s desks.
I won’t pretend to understand everything from this talk about computers and conciousness but it is a fascinating subject.
No new illustration for now as all my time is being taken up by web design commissions (including www.heleninnes.com - my girlfriend and fellow illustrator’s online portfolio - check it out) but I’m itching to do my next image and have lots of ideas ready!
poster times. abstract salad. been web designing so not many finished images this past week or so! many more ideas to be completed and uploaded soon…
no new finished images for now. but here’s an abstract doodle, and a pub-gig-inspired (and then slightly Photoshopped) doodle…
Just finished my piece for The Hill (hillmag.com). Should be out in a few months, will keep you updated… check out their website to peruse previous issues (Issue 2 has a piece of mine in as well!)
(click image for larger version)
Image being made… keep one’s eyes peeled.
Some links in addition:
Max Estes and Rich Gemmel - nice images.
Also have a look at Pikaland - good illustration blog.
Pleased to announce the release of friends Victoria & Jacob’s single - with cover designed by me! Check out their music at myspace.com/victoriaandjacob and come along to their launch party this Thursday at the Old Queen’s Head, Essex Rd, if you are about!
Cool retro/cartoon-style illustrations - S.Britt and John Martz
finished image - it was for a poster, but we’re going with a different idea, so here it is without any text.
