Unique Pic Creations

Hello , I'm James Johnson. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Alt-
hough our family moved around a lot, somehow, we'd always end up back in L.A. Growing up in Los
Angeles, I was exposed to a lot of experiences no child should ever have known. I grew up having
never met my father. My mother raised me and my three other siblings by herself. Over the years,
although our family didn't have much, we were creative in making do with what we did have.

At age of 17, I moved out and got my first apartment. It wasn't much to look at, but while dec-
orating it, I discovered I had a knack for arranging and balancing color. Friends and family, after see-
ing rooms I'd created, would seek my advice on how to decorate their own spaces.

Years later, I became a father of four and am happily married to a beautiful, awesome wom-
an. I became a registered nurse / respiratory therapist. In 2014, My brother and I started a process-
serving business. We served subpoenas for our attorney clients. Often, our company attended con-
ventions for the process service industry. In order to attract potential clients to our booth, we'd hand
out promotional giveaways. After a while, I began noticing other process service companies handing
out similar promos. To separate our company from the others, I invested in some special equipment
used for sublimating images onto various textiles and surfaces. Through Youtube, I quickly learned
about the sublimating process and began producing our own, signature promotional gifts.

In March 2017, I was involved in a terrible accident that left me paralyzed from the shoulders
down. I thought I'd lost everything. I suffered many new challenges while struggling to regain my life.
In doing so, my faith in God elevated exponentially. That said, with only the use of my mouth, I re-
turned to the computer via a specialized mouse. I began using photoshop to blend photos, remove
backgrounds, and print on even more substrates. I've taken sublimation to a whole new level of mas-
tery! Today, I collaborate with artists all around the world, from anime artists to photographers. I pro-
duce some of the best displays of vibrant colors that surpass even the most stringent client expecta-
tions.

I truly feel blessed to be able to share my gifts with audiences everywhere. I absolutely enjoy your
positive feedback. Please, visit my gallery at UPCPRINTS.COM, or drop me an email to let me know

Thank You,

James Johnson
