Bio James A. Brady was born outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1971. He won his first art contest at the age of five. A local artist, Annette Benedito, noticed his talents and began a free tutelage. She dug the base for the building that would be...his artistic talent. When he entered high school, the baton tutelage was passed onto Mr. Barry Buschy, his high school art instructor. It was during this time that James received his first commissioned painting. One of many to come. Mr. Buschy had laid down the foundation for the building that would be...his artistic talent. James started installing the cornerstones of his talent while at St. Joseph's University. After graduating St. Joe's, he continued his education at The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon & Graphic Art. Within a year, he was signed on to animate for the Spiderman: The Sinister Six CD Rom game. The Artist arrived in L.A. in September of '97. Since that time he has established a base from Sunset Boulevard down to Laguna Beach and over to Pensacola Florida. While he continues his renovations, he does storyboards for a number of Hollywood Film Studios. He can often be found sharpening his skills at Sherman Oak's Art Association and North Hollywood's American Animation Institute. This summer he can be found in different Art Festivals along the California Coast. What is amazing about James Brady is that he has three unique styles; yet, his 'look' pops out instantly. What people love about a 'Brady' is that every piece creates an instant feeling. Reflection A December's Daydream It was originally produced from an art of frustration for a school assignment. It was intended to represent the month of December for part of my calendar. All I could think while I was painting this was·this ain't no Norman Rockwell, #@!!*! Then magic happened·The woman running represents my perfect woman. The reason why this was so successful was because it is a view of her back. Everyone puts his or her own face on her. People also like it because they don't notice her initially!
