I was doodling all the way through school and using the family Commodore to make little posters for me and my friends, which was my introduction to rudimentary computer graphics. I did it because I loved it, and never stopped. In terms of personal style, it took a very long time with a lot of hard work and dedication. I started developing my own computer artwork when I landed in the design industry in 1998, and spent almost 10 years trying everything I could creatively.”, says James White while describing his very beginnings in computer graphics.
