Hello I'm james a. mathias. artist, writer & outlaw

During the day I work with EllisLab as CCO.
At night, I do drawings and spin yarns.

I’m married to a wonderful woman, with whom I help raise three beautiful, and brilliant young men. We all live together in Nashville, with two cats and our tiny, tiny dog.

I’ve been shaping the web for eleven years, weaving dreams and magic and bringing the dazzle thunder.

My Three Sons

Liam changed my life in large sweeping ways. His arrival awakened things in my mind that had long been buried and although they caused me a lot of painful memories and caused my eventual mental breakdown, they also helped me to become the man and father I am today.

Without him I may well have been lost forever. I’m not sure he understands yet, how much I owe him, I hope one day to repay him ten-thousand fold.

He fixed my mind.

Bryce brought about a change that was no less drastic or life altering. He helped me realize I could love and be loved without condition. Bryce helped me re-discover the artist that had been lost.

His arrival had a direct influence on Onelotus and my drive to make it successful. Everyday this boy makes me smile, not just my face, my whole heart and soul smiles for Bryce.

He fixed my heart.

Cameron’s affect on my life began six months before we met. His impending arrival helped me decide that it was time to stop ignoring my health and fix what had long been broken. By the time of his birth I’d lost over one-hundred pounds and changed my attitude, health, clothing sizes and overall well being ten fold.

This gift is something I can repay by teaching all my boys through example that proper nutrition and exercise is a healthy and sane lifestyle.

He fixed my body.

Thanks To You
