JAMES NELSON + THE CITY

July 8, 2021

 COME ON, LET'S EXPLORE TOGETHER!

We asked James what his inspiration for this project was and he shared... 

"As cities start opening up and people are wanting to get outside and be social, I created a colorful summer-like cityscape that gives off good vibes. A place that offers the type of things I like to do when visiting an urban city that has beautiful parks, arts districts and gardens to explore, a place to meet your friends for a picnic or glass of wine."

He approached this map-like scene in a "Cruise around the City" type of illustration that could be a fun editorial feature or a city guide / map.

 

James is known for his stylish, sophisticated and often whimsical illustrations that can be seen on gift cards and packaging to textiles, editorial projects and brand advertising.
