In my own words

— James

Please check out my web site and online portfolio at keenanarts.com I was mixing ink and pulling squeegees when I was in High School and now I am an Illustrator and Graphic Designer.

During the many years that I worked in the Screenprinting industry (for companies such as Hybrid Apparel, JEM Sportswear, KJM Enterprises and Dimensions Screenprinting) I excelled at hand drawn art, graphic design, graphic art, color separations, color mixing, sampling, pre-production and production for imprinted sportswear.

Maintaining my skills as a fine artist is important to me, I do watercolor and oil plein air paintings in my free time and get into a local show once in a while.

I am very grateful to be able to use my artistic talent, sense of design and eye for color to make a living.
