Someday I’ll wish upon a star…

So I took a leap and changed the title of this blog post from “James Joyce, Illustrator” to something a little less SEO-friendly and a little more smile-friendly. I cannot help but smile when I see the colours that James Joyce uses in his work — it’s been a restrained week of blogging so far and we all need a little colour in our days.

I somehow found myself at James Joyce’s website one day and was struck by how bold his work is. The strong type, the bold lines and colours… this is not a man that has ever been tempted to use a script font, nor paint his walls magnolia. There are many artists that are famous for their typographic pieces, but Joyce’s work varies from being just about statements made on paper to sculptures and commercial work for companies such as Wallpaper* magazine, the Guardian newspaper and Havana Club rum.

When you are in need a little colour one day, just switch over to his website at jamesjoyce.co.uk and you’ll be smiling in minutes.
