Happy belated Earthday, earthlings! Here’s a cup’o’doodle of a new project I’m working out right now!:)
So my name's James Woods! I'm currently at university in the UK, studying illustration with hopes of finding my spot in this world. My childhood dreams were to build a Dalmatian themed amusement park or ride the Titanic.

Saw my favourite, Bjork in Paris Last month…. She kind of blew my mind
Check out this video from the show I went to. She uses a lightning gun, tesla coil contraption to play the bass line…
She’s doing her final shows in California next month and I encourage anyone to go, if only for the fact that David Attenborough narrates the concert.
P.s. (not my vid)
I only paint once in a blue moon, because I have no idea what the hell I’m doing, but figured it’s time i sucked it up and started to learn how to do this thing. I think I can count the times I’ve done a rendered environment on one hand:S
Again, this is some development from a uni project I’m working on.
Anonymous asked: Hey there mister! So you're going to CalArts uni? :D congratulations dude, your art never ceases to improve so I really hope you go there and kick butts, good luck!
Thanks so much for the super kind words:D!
I think I’ll most likely have to defer the year, but it’s all riding on whether I can find some kind of loan and grant to push me through the year:S
Hey guys! I have an instagram you can check out if you want! I usually post doodles more regularly on there then I do on here.
So I’m just graduating from my UK degree… And will be moving towards the next adventure in my life!:D
p.s.
This picture was taken early morning, hence my stoned out eyes…
Anonymous asked: I'm just curious! Are you the same james wood that attends AUB in the UK?
Hi!
Yep that’s me!:)
Are you at AUB too?
So I spent the last few days completely reconstructing my portfolio, condensing, rescanning, tidying, nitty gritty erasing, nurturing and reformatting, but I now think I have a body of 2013 work. A portfolio is NEVER finished…BUT I think I can sit back and chill for the time being! The last year has been pretty crazy and I recently ended up immersing myself in so much work that I kind of burnt out, but I took a bit of time to come up to the surface and breath and so I’m more pumped then ever to work my ass off! Never forget to take a bit of time for yourself, because no one else will do that for you.
More of my swampy critter. He’s a bit frog-ier than I would like. I need to explore some more!:)
I’m just getting into the first strokes of my newest and final university project and this is a sneak at a potential character in the works.
Also, you can check out my ramblings in a recent interview I did for the Animation Insider website! A super resource of artist experiences, in (or hoping to get into) the animation industry.
As per usual here are some instagrams of doodles and life drawings as of late. My username is ‘Jamwooders’ if you’re interested in hitting me up!
Anonymous asked: You are very inspiring, genuinely love your work and your talent! Have you ever thought of making tutorials in your spare time (if you have any), would love to learn some top tips from you! :-)
Hey, thanks so much for the kind words!
I’m just about to start my graduation project so I’ll try and make some screen-caps along the way!
