A Few Naked Facts About James Courtney

Okay, so I'm not the cutest Pin-Up artist out there but that's okay. My job at Nakedcomix is to make sexy and exciting images of other people. I've been creating Pin-Up illustration in Adobe Illustrator for 7 years now.
I was born in San Francisco, the second child of four kids and thought of by most of my family as the strange but quiet one. After High School, I went off to Junior College and later enrolled in the Academy of Art College and USF. There I earned a BFA degree in Illustration from both schools.
Since leaving school I've used many different graphic programs for the computer. I settled on Adobe Illustrator, since Vector based art allows for the widest range of final options and usage for my work. I can create images without worrying that they may be too big or too small for whatever print usage I may want later.
My goal is to bring a bold fresh new look to the genre. I bring all my experience and talent to the task, (along with the help of some of the Bay Area's best models). Nakedcomix is my attempt to be the best Pin-Up artist working today! I hope you enjoy the rest of this web site and come back to see more in the future.
