James Hughes' Kindling Pile
Hello, I'm James! This site functions as a personal portfolio, and journaling on my previous projects. I work on a variety of things, from engineering to art, and you can find my project types categorized below. Individual page links for categories can be visited to see specific projects in-depth.
You can find my YouTube page here. It contains some tutorials and trailers that I didn't feel fit the portfolio directly.
If you're looking to request file access, or use my work within your own, please reach out directly through the contact page. I'm extremely open to others using my work, as long as proper citation or sourcing is represented in the final product. Otherwise, enjoy what I've put together!
