a little about me, a lot about UGAWD

I'm James Binder III, I specialize in Neo Pop Art; with a blend of Contemporary implemented. I love to express myself via bright colors, sprinkled with strong subliminal content which is always nostalgic in ilk. Blend that with some well known imagery (Gucci, Disney, Simpsons, Graffiti etc.) and you get my Neo POP! 

I do most pieces on canvas, wood board, walls and occasionally paper. I am a Digital Illustrator, that will be willing to license my works out for you to put on anything from  purchasing display to promotional advertising. I also Specialize in Stickers, Prints and Posters, as well as high-quality canvas prints. The majority of that work is ran through my company UGAWD. Ltd*. We also bring events together like paint nights that come with those said Sticker packs as well as personalized stickers (with enough time) that your party, or your business will love. We want you to be comfortable in you own skin and we also want you to feel in full control of your future and endeavors here at UGAWD.

UGAWD, which is an acronym meaning, "The Universes Guidance Awards Welcomed Dreamers" is more then a clothing brand its a Lifestyle Approach, focusing in on the melanin demographic who is occasionally misrepresented when it comes to any gallery or artistic platform.

UGAWD allows YOU to have representational pieces, that actually mean something!
