James Barker

   James Barker creates vibrant collections of illustration, he makes children’s picture books, ebooks, editorial and product based illustration. A lot of his work is on the subject of nature, and the fact that he can apply his work to product is a good example of why he inspires me as an artist. I think that for my 'cat breeds' brief, I shall look at grouping animals together in a print and then expand from there, rather than going to extensive lengths to make a book about only one animal. I think that if I did this, It would link my cat work with my painting for the wildlife artist of the year competition.
