James Griffin was born 1949 in Kitchener, Ontario. Experiencing a culturally diverse childhood while living in the United States, Peru, England and Brazil, combined with his early expressions of creative talent, James was primed for a career as an artist. After acquiring a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute in 1972, he was on his way.
During Griffin’s 36 year career as a freelance artist and illustrator he has created over 3500 illustrations with a concentrated focus on book covers.
