Today, Sam welcomes Alexander James onto the show! Alex is a British-born multimedia artist with a practice spanning diverse media such as video, painting, and sculpting. From 2012 to 2015, he studied illustration with animation at the Camberwell College of Arts in London, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree there. He’s worked with a multitude of different brands and creatives to deliver some exciting projects, and his work has been showcased all over the world--from New York to Berlin.
Alex believes that the spark to follow your passion for art can come at any point in your life. His spark came early. Growing up, his dad was an engineer and thus creative in a different context. But his mother was heavily involved in fashion, and his grandfather always used to draw with him whenever he visited. It was really the school environment that pushed him on his current path.
In this episode, Alex breaks down his journey and discusses a bit more about his work. You’ll hear about how he gets inspired with new ideas, overcomes creative blocks, and works with different mediums. Alex also reveals what it was like to do his first exhibition, offers his best practices for using social media, and discusses the highlights and milestones of his career thus far.
