Danial James

Danial James Stuckenschneider was born in Cedar Rapids, IA on November 11, 1966. After graduating high school in Iowa, he moved to Colorado to pursue his art career. He applied for, and won, the only full-ride scholarship to the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design offered to a high school senior in the U.S. He graduated college in 1987 with an Illustration degree.

In 1989, Danial James met David Uhl and joined Uhl Illustration, bringing with him his skill with an airbrush, attention to detail, craftsmanship and an amazing work ethic. In the ensuing years, Danial witnessed first-hand David's unique approach to illustration, taking a mundane image and transforming it into a compelling work of art. Danial absorbed much of this during that time, applying it to his own work.

In the early 1990s Danial then took Uhl Illustration into a new realm: digital.

He applied the traditional illustration skills to the new tools of computer generated art, becoming one of the premier talents in this sphere. Today, Danial James creates award-winning visual solutions for a wide array of national and international clients.

He combines the skill and creativity of traditional illustration with state-of-the-art digital techniques and now has moved into the world of fine art. He is expressing his love for the history of vintage automotive's in his oil paintings.
