Doodling and tagging the subway tunnels of NYC as a kid, Todd James has put forth an impressive career as a self-taught artist.  Along the way he has collaborated with many famous musical acts, even designing the elephant logo below for the Beastie Boys back in the late 80′s.  Venturing into 3-D, James played a role on the puppet design for Comedy Central’s show Crank Yankers.  One of his most current projects is painting African pirates (showing over in Copenhagen, Denmark) in a very simple and bright style.
