Brian James puts a contemporary spin on vintage style posters featuring travel, fashion and gambling inspired by the ‘20’s and ‘30’s. Born in Birmingham, England in 1947, James studied graphic design at Birmingham College of Art, designing one of his earliest claims to fame, the Union Jack Bowler Hat. After graduation, he served as an advertising art director for years before becoming a freelance illustrator in the 1970s. Since them, he’s worked on many national and international campaigns, and has done illustrations for museums in the U.K., the U.S., and the Middle East.
