James Ward is an artist who has taken his talents in drawing and painting and directed them towards the kitchen cupboard. His hand-painted and drawn plates feature furry woodland creatures and often hilarious statements.
Who wouldn't want a plate with a bear on it that says "Sandwich Defender"? The slogans and animals are cute, but what really gets me about James Ward's plates is the quality of the work. I never thought that a plate could make such a good canvas for both drawing and painting. Prove me wrong James Ward. Prove me wrong.
