About James Lovekin

b. 1975, Buffalo, NY. Currently living and working both in Mendocino and Oakland, CA.


My recent work is largely about the subtle and frightening currents beneath my waking life: dreams, subconscious resonances, hallucinations… I’m haunted, therefore I create. There is also, I hope, an element of fun here. This is the place I’m interested in, where scary things mingle with joyous things.
