A Letter From the Artist

Have you ever felt a little different in this world? I grew up feeling that way. Always feeling a little weirder than others. I learned to embrace parts of it and find the joyful side of feeling different. But probably like you, I still have struggled to embrace all parts of myself as the whole. In this time of my life, I feel strongly about putting all those creative and unique parts of myself in one place. So, you will see lots of character, animal, & creature art, but you’ll also see my typewriting passion, my love for Jesus, sculpture, encouraging videos, and perhaps even some puppetry. Whether a painting, a sketch, or a poem, my hope is that you discover something unexpected and special in my work.

Weirdly,

James
