James White is a Canadian digital artist born in 1977, and currently lives in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Even at the young age of 4, James’ passion for drawing was evident as he eagerly hunted down his mother’s typewriter paper for his creations. After completing high school, he enrolled in a Graphic Design course in his hometown where he was introduced to the tools of the trade, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, which he continues to master today.

In 1998, James began on his professional design career, cutting his teeth on website and print campaign design for local companies. However, he never let go of his personal projects which consumed his evenings and weekends, ultimately leading to the establishment of the acclaimed Signalnoise Studio. James’ 80s-inspired personal art caught the industry’s attention, leading him to collaborate with renowned brands like Hasbro, Warner Bros., Nike, Metallica, UbiSoft, Twitch, Atari and numerous others. Through his work, he ultimately aims to pay homage to the vibrant spirit of his 1980s childhood.

Presently, James is the full-time Art Director at ModRetro, a company specializing in retro gaming.
