James White and the Signalnoise Studio
James White, a Canadian digital artist born in 1977, finds his artistic home in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Even at the tender age of 4, James' passion for drawing was evident, as he eagerly claimed his mother's typewriter paper for his creations. After completing high school, he pursued a Graphic Design course in his hometown where he was introduced to the enduring tools of his trade, Photoshop and Illustrator, which he continues to master today.
In 1998, James embarked on his professional design career, cutting his teeth on website and print campaign design for local companies. However, he never let go of his personal projects which consumed his evenings and weekends, ultimately leading to the establishment of the acclaimed Signalnoise Studio. James' exceptional personal work caught the industry's attention, propelling him to collaborate with renowned brands like Hasbro, Warner Bros., Nike, Metallica, UbiSoft, Twitch, and numerous others.
Presently, James is deeply engrossed in an array of neon-infused art projects, both for his own creative pursuits and in collaboration with international brands. Through his work, he aims to pay homage to the vibrant spirit of his 1980s childhood.
