Hello, I'm James Simmons. Prior to being a professional artist, I proudly served the United States military for several years as a field medic. After getting out of the military and formal art school For Game Art & Design, I worked on projects that were geared towards helping our veterans with PTSD. After that time, I got picked up to work on console video games. For my art experience, I have been making art professionally for over 17 years. Most recently at Warner Bros. Entertainment as a Senior Artist and Zynga. In the video game industry, I worked on original and licensed AAA titles, some of them being on the top seller charts in the world. I also have several years of experience producing rapid prototypes for tech toy companies as well as helping design brands for billion-dollar companies.

​

Some of my personal sci-fi works have been premiered in worldwide public publications such as EXPOSÉ and have been nominated for awards. I was a finalist in the world wide Star Wars ILM Art Department Challenge with one of my pieces being an ILM favorite.

​

I draw inspiration from pop culture, the 80's, 90’s, arcade games, and sci-fi movies. I also draw inspiration from my life experience as a military veteran and from my many world travel adventures.
