The Creator
James McMenamin is an artist & visionary, born and raised in New Jersey. In 2008, he created Glossblack, LLC as a way to offer his artistic skills to everyone; business owners, homeowners, corporations, etc. The demand for his mural work began to surpass his expectations, creating a buzz among Philadelphians. By 2016, he walked away from a career in the sciences to pursue art full-time and never looked back.
James is always very grateful & thankful and genuinely wants to gift the world his authentic visions in order to inspire others to do the same.
Today, he can be found in his studio creating sculptural artwork inspired by his newly awakened passion for symbolism and spirituality. His passion for life is expansive, encompassing all things art, texture, literature, natural science, sacred geometry, consciousness and metaphysics. When he’s not in the studio, he most enjoys spending time outdoors with his incredible wife & their three beautiful children.
The Project Manager
From my first job at a small, family-owned dry cleaners, I learned the importance of customer service and how it can make or break both parties’ experience with one another. This stays in the forefront of my mind whenever I am assisting clients with their mural projects, managing the webstore and even while on-site for an installation.
Swift, honest and thorough communication along with knowing and understanding the process from start to finish are the key ways in which I make sure to do the best I can on every project I am involved with.
Whenever not taking care of business or slathering on some paint—I am likely to be found kicking back with my amazing girlfriend Maddie and our two dogs Duke and River, thrifting, working out, wrenching on something or spending quality time with family and friends!
