Having been based in Japan for a number of years, James talks about how his travel has influenced his work. And how by producing self generated work it steered the work that he is best known for.

Living and working freelance in Japan.

James talks about enjoying his surroundings, building connections and also making sure that the work he does is always progressing.

If you haven’t been you should, and if you have, you should go again.
