James Joyce is an artist/designer living and working in Central London. He founded his own studio One Fine Day at the start of this year and recently held an exhibition of his work at the Carhartt flagship store in Central London (which ran from February to May) as well as being part of other group shows. He has produced work for a variety of clients as well as producing his own limited edition artworks.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE REST OF 2006?
I'm working on an animated music promo for a track by Revlon called 'Someone Like You' (Deven Miles Edit) due to be ready at the start of August. I had this idea for a music video from a drawing I did a while ago, my friend David Oscroft is animating it with me. I'm also working on a range of T-shirts for Carhartt and am in the process of designing my website. As for the rest of the year, I'd like to have another solo exhibition of new work somewhere and continue to work on a variety of interesting projects.

ARE THERE ANY MUSICAL ARTISTS/BANDS YOU ARE A FAN AND WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH?
I'd love to work with artists/bands that are up for doing something creative, unusual and challenging. It’d be great to produce a classic album sleeve.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU COLLECT OBSESSIVELY?
I'm not really a big collector but I do have a thing for chairs. I have two Eames chairs, not exactly a collection.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVOURITE PROJECTS YOU’VE WORKED ON OR CLIENTS YOU’VE WORKED WITH?
I'd have to say the artwork I produce for a monthly party called It's Bigger Than at 93 Feet East on Brick Lane. I’ve been producing flyers and visuals for this for almost three years now on a monthly basis and have amassed quite a body of work for it in that time. I have the complete freedom to come up with whatever enters my brain on a month to month basis, although having no brief as such is often difficult as the possibilities are endless. I also really enjoyed working with Carhartt earlier this year.

WHO DO YOU SEE AS YOUR CONTEMPORARIES AND WHO DO YOU RATE?
There are some very talented people around right now but I have a lot of respect for artists such as Anthony Burrill and Parra. It's not easy to cultivate your own unique style and these two definitely have.
