James Starr

Jim graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University with a BFA in Illustration. Just two years later, he found his dream job as a staff illustrator at Eucalyptus Tree Studios in Baltimore, Md. Working alongside accomplished illustrators at Eucalyptus Tree, he learned the value of versatility. Over the last 20 years as a freelance illustrator, his flexibility and versatility have kept his illustrations current in today's ever changing market. His goal in every assignment is to work closely with the designer/art director to come up with a conceptually strong and well designed illustration. He has worked for a wide range of client needs, including logos, icons, package design, editorial, corporate, portraits, event posters, and web graphics. His styles and techniques include graphic, scratchboard, airbrush, woodcut, pastel, paintings, watercolor, pencil, and pen and ink. He is a member of the Washington DC Illustrators Club and the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators. His work has been accepted into Print magazine, the Society of Illustrators Annual, and the Washington, D.C. Illustrators Club Exhibit. In addition to teaching Illustration at York College of Pennsylvania, Jim also teaches Oil Painting and Watercolor at the York Art Association.
