JC Vitruvius

Hello and welcome! Thanks for visiting! :-) I'm James Cuggy (JC) and this showcases my recent work in the visual arts (murals, posters, cards, cartoons, tiles, etc), as well as a lot of my early-life work, as a child/teen artist. For many reasons and for a long time, my bursting innate creativity remained latent, stifled and close to extinction. However, this was so powerful in my early life that it managed to become reborn, stronger and more diverse than ever, like a true modern Phoenix.
