James Brown

Trained as a textile and surface print designer, James worked in the clothing industry for ten years, producing print designs for numerous fashion brands from Levis to Louis Vuitton. In 2007, after two years at Hope & Glory menswear, he embarked on a new career as an illustrator. He has been commissioned to produce work by publishing houses, magazines, newspapers and advertising and design agencies. Recent clients include GQ, Random House, The Guardian and The Poetry Society. Alongside his commercial practice, James produces limited-edition screen prints and linocuts. His work reflects his interest in the printed and typographic ephemera of pop culture and the importance of the traditional printing processes.
