About James

Hi I’m James I am a professional artist/designer who mixes traditional art with digital art and I’ve always loved fantastical cities from movies, games, illustrations and other art forms. Architectonic forms still inspire me today as you can see with my artworks. I have been designing cities of the imagination from as long as I can remember and then one summer during my school holidays in the early 90s, I got home to find a game had been posted to me from a mail order computer games company. That game was the original SimCity on the Atari ST. Now, the graphics look dated but then. I can even remember the packaging. The little blips on the screen representing, zones, buildings and even traffic jams were awesome at the time as if life was happening behind the screen. I know there are others out there like me, who love making imaginary cities…

About the lesson

What On Earth Is This Workshop? It will help you to design a city from your imagination and unleash your creativity. Depending on the tools at hand, you will be able to visualise your city using drawing, model making, 3D graphics, 3D printing, Lasercutting and even VR world building. My expertise with commercial clients since 1999 from entertainment companies, engineering, museums, my own art products, and also my tuition experience means that anything that you need to do to achieve your goal, I will find the solution for you at that moment with the design and fabrication tools at hand. Over the last 6 years, I have carefully developed this workshop. It started off as a lesson in a Summer School I was working at. The students loved the lesson. I then went on to give this workshop at arts centres, FabLabs and Makerspaces, Maker Faires in the UK, Iceland and Canada. Each time I do the workshop, I refine it and find ways to make it a little bit better each time. I have also just finished working in a FabLab for a one year contract so I have an expertise with a whole range of digital fabrication technologies. Is It For Me? All ages have attended this workshop. I have had children up to retired people attending the workshops discovering how they can unleash or improve their creativity and get more inspiration. All levels have attended and benefited from this workshop from people who have never drawn or used a computer before to designers and artists who have worked on major animated film productions. Contact me today if you have any questions about it. Examples of people who benefit this workshop – Hobbyists and enthusiasts Science fiction and fantasy fans For young learners Continued Professional Development Parties, weddings and other events Contact me to discuss… (concealed information) What You Will Learn You will be able to learn depending on the tools in the venue – Creativity (I believe this comes first, if you agree you will love this workshop!) Traditional Drawing 3D printing setup and use 3D modelling for 3D printing Blender 3ds Max Substance Painter Substance Designer Lasercutting Much more I adapt solutions for each individual attendee and always keep the workshops small in numbers. I also teach one to one or in groups without the Cities Of The Imagination themes, customised to what you want. For example, learning 3D modelling for printing.

James offers excellent teaching. When we started I could barely start a computer and now after a relatively short period of time I am working on massive Blender projects. I appreciate our easy communication and good tips that James gave to me.
