ARTis The Imitation of Life is an intimate and artistic glimpse into the window of my life. Being adopted at birth I’ve always had to imitate what I thought the experience of life should be. From the dynamics of family, to the daily challenges of being Black in America; everyday I found myself formulating equations through the use of art, the observation of television programming, and the implementation of technology. After years of creative experiments I ultimately discovered that art itself is a mirror of society and artists are merely the byproducts of their environments. My mission with this exhibition is to be the artistic mirror that my culture often lacks while simultaneously uplifting our heroes and bringing awareness to the issues that continue to plague our communities. Join me at the legendary Carver Community Cultural Center on February 24th, 2022 from 6pm to 8pm for the opening reception. Exhibition to run from February 24th - April 15th 2022. #theartofshawnartis #theshawnartisgallery #ARTisTheImitationofLife #carvercenter #sanantonio #contemporaryartmonth2022 #contemporaryart #houstonartist #exhibition #soloexhibition #art #blackhistorymonth #adopt #culture #typography #designerraptour (at Jo Long Theatre at The Carver Community Cultural Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZxxnQiLrtF/?utm_medium=tumblr

DNA exhibit by @robertleroyhodge now at @davidsheltongallery 4/17 through 5/8. Great running into the homies Robert Hodge and @theartofjamesewalker_com and his son Wes! The title DNA was quite fitting being that I’m getting to watch Wes grow up in the midst of the art world while listening to Robert reflect on his journey. Truly historic! Keep creating my brothers ✊🏿 you all continue to inspire me 🙏🏿 #dna #culture #art #ARTworks #davidsheltongallery #roberthodge #theartofjamesewalker #designerraptour #theartofshawnartis #contemporaryart #art #houstonartists #culture (at David Shelton Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN5gbcABrkN/?igshid=1glww2ix5imok

In 2010, I put in my two weeks notice and then released a project titled 2 Weeks Notice!! This was also the first album cover I designed, which sparked my design career. Design & Layout: James E!

I wanted it as bad as I wanted to breathe... That time went I was crazy enough to jump my ass in the seat of a Toyota Prius and drive 36 hours from Houston, Texas to Hartford, Connecticut to see this guy! Eric Thomas @etthehiphoppreacher // Guess they knew I was crazy as well because they definitely invited me backstage to meet him. This man truly impacted my life! // #greatnessisuponyou #ericthomas #etthehiphoppreacher #hartfordconnecticut #designerraptour #breatheuniversity #asbadasyouwannabreathe #throwback (at Hartford, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjZifzpIYx/?igshid=sx4n7c2jtzmv

It was all a Dream... I use to read design magazines... then I woke up and realized that I had actually met Stefan Sagmeister @stefansagmeister when I was in college. As I sat in the crowd, I remember manifesting... I gotta meet this guy! About 30 minutes later, this happened! My design life will never be the same.

I just don’t know when to quit or take my eyes off the prize... seems like every music video with @axelbrinson & @designerraptour gets more and more creative, gritty, and fun. // Here are a few snapshots from the CULTiVate shoot. // #musicvideo #designerraptour #designerrapmusic #hiphopvisuals #jamesewalker #cultivate #axelbrinson #farmhousestyle (at East Bernard, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXHRPzJZ4w/?igshid=1g6t9n6wer2bv

I titled this one, Rocketeer Wes... mainly because my son is obsessed with all things that take flight (airplanes, rockets, etc.) Well since I couldn’t take him skydiving 🪂 with me a few weeks ago, I decided to give him his own set of wings to fly. #abstrametrics #theartofjamesewalker #jamesewalker #rocketeer #rocketeerwes #photographyandillustration #photographics #coverart #coverartwork #designerraptour #designerrap #renaissential (at NASA's Johnson Space Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xlHQTJRT7/?igshid=zrcyg124jud9
