Looking Back to Move Forward

This event has happened

James started drawing when he was 4, and never stopped. In this talk, he traces his creative journey from childhood drawings on typewriter paper to a career shaped by decades of personal work and exploration… and how everything aligns in a fun, colourful and powerful way.

Through a 45-year chronological look at his own artistic archive, James highlights the key moments both big and small, that guided his path, often only becoming clear in hindsight. He shares how early influences, side projects, and persistent curiosity ultimately shaped his creative identity.

“Looking Back to Move Forward” explores how creativity is cumulative, why personal work matters, and how revisiting the past can help reveal a path into the future.
