In 2023, as waves of layoffs swept through the concept art community, James recognized a pressing need for artists to fortify their careers with a solid understanding of business, finance, and strategy. Thus, The Artefact Community was born—a free platform uniting passionate artists who aspire to navigate the entertainment art industry with wisdom and resilience. James, along with Timothee Mathon, Art Director and Instructor, leads this community with a commitment to transparency, objectivity, and unwavering support. Together, they delve into the "dry" and "heinous" yet indispensable aspects of the industry, empowering artists to thrive in the face of challenges. Through Beyond Us Studios and The Artefact Community, James cultivates not just creativity but also a sense of entrepreneurship among artists. His discourse extends beyond brushes and pixels, delving into the realms of business strategies, financial literacy, and professional relationships. In our interview, James delves into the intersection of art and artificial intelligence, the importance of reaching one's full potential, and the transformative power of mentorship.
