Since graduating from leading arts institution, Falmouth College of Arts in 1996, Illustrator James Mayall has gone on to develop an exciting and contemporary graphic style of work. Following a successful career as a senior designer in a London based consultancy, James' passion for his illustration work prompted him to work on a freelance basis, giving him the freedom to pursue the work he enjoys most. Music is an integral part of James' creative process and his main inspiration. His current commissioned work reflects all that is new on the underground music scene in London – album artwork for jazz and hip hop fusion group 'Bussetti', online development for turntable soul favourites 'Belleruche' and part of the creative team for Digital City, a groundbreaking collective of musicians, DJ's, artists and filmmakers of the UK’s electronic underground. James has recently produced work for Complex Magazine (New York), Advanced Photoshop Magazine, The Big Issue (London) and BBC Music magazine. Artistic inspiration can be found in the work of American artist Chuck Close, English illustrator and artist Ian Swift, Mitchy Bwoy and graffiti artists 3A Crew, Case, Dephect, Swet and SCA Crew. James also DJs at various parties and venues around London.
