James is a full-time artist, based in Sheffield who specialises in printmaking, mainly linocut and screenprint. He loves to create bold prints, playing with colour and texture and attempting to push the limitations of his print methods.

In 2023 Sheffield Museums hosted a major retrospective of his donkey prints, at the Millennium Gallery, entitled ‘Donkey Nonsense, prints 2008 to 2023’. Outside of his personal work, James has created commissions for people like The Hepworth Wakefield, English Heritage, Sheffield Children’s Festival and Abbeydale Brewery.
