TisF Spends Five Fabulous Minutes with Artist James Godman.
James Godman is an emerging artist whose work has been hailed as provocative, timeless, and unafraid. It is rooted in the cycle of urban decay and fuses a melancholic aesthetic with an undeniable emotional presence unfettered by commercialism.
James started out at age 16 airbrushing t-shirts at a local shop in a Chicago suburb and more recently has developed a unique process of painting that allows him to realize his vision. James is currently migrating to New York City.
TisF caught up with James in New York City during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
