James Clyne

James Clyne has worked as a film industry artist for well over a decade. He spent his childhood in Oregon catching garter snakes, building forts on construction sights and drawing everything his impressionable mind could think of.

James studied fine art at UC Santa Barbara where he focused on oil painting and photography. He was inspired by master painters and the power of light through a lens. He went on to Art Center where he learned automotive, industrial and film production design. There he was introduced to the work of Raymond Lowey, Pininfarina and, of course, Syd Mead.
