James Greenaway

"James Greenaway’s (or Jagi..) illustrative imagery is best described as pop-fantasy art, taking inspiration from manga, retro videogames, art nouveau and surrealism. Portrayed with these stylistic influences and within Jagi’s worlds live giant, childlike, bionic samurai creatures, sometimes riddled with grief or floating around blissfully daydreaming, but always trapped and inseparable from their biomechanical armor. Bored and melancholic adventurers are found sitting a top floating plat form game islands with rubix cubes and power-ups gathering dust nearby. These characters and landscapes are a reflection Jagi’s youth, introvertedly spent drawing and designing platform and adventure video games in his sketchbooks."
