I'm James, a Canadian illustrator, designer, keynote speaker, and 80s enthusiast living in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. With a passion for art since childhood, I entered the creative industry in 1998 and worked at agencies for a decade. However, my personal projects were always a priority, and eventually, I transitioned the Signalnoise Studio into my full-time freelance venture. Drawing inspiration from my 1980s childhood, I infuse my art with the same fun and enthusiasm of that era. If you share an appreciation for old video games, comic books, toys, drawing, Photoshop, Illustrator, synthwave, and all things hot pink... join me on this awesome journey.
