James Merritt is a London-based illustrator and animator hailing from the coasts of Cornwall, UK.

His work is bright, bold, and often features hedonistic characters kicking back and relaxing in natural scenes. James has experience working on a wide range of illustration and animation projects, everything from magazine covers to music videos. He works digitally, and his practice is informed by his background in teaching animation software at Goldsmiths, University of London. He particularly loves making illustrated compositions packed with details and animated flourishes.
