Illustrator: James Jean
Ninja March 3rd, 2007
I’ve long wanted to start posts on illustrators that inspire me. Mr. Jean is one of them. I apologize for the delay, I’ve been too busy/lazy to blog + I’ve been running into technical difficulties uploading images.
James Jean is known for distinctive, beautiful (+ sometimes surprisingly disturbing) illustration. Born in Taiwan, raised in Parsippany, NJ, + educated at SVA in NYC. He is currently living + working out of LA. James is mostly recognized in the comic community for his DC Covers (three consecutive Eisner awards, two Harvey awards, two gold medals and a silver from the Society of Illustrators of LA, + a gold medal from the Society of Illustrators of NY) in addition to other work for Marvel, Dark Horse, + Fantagraphics. He also boasts an impressive commercial client list: Atlantic Records, Burton, ESPN, Rolling Stone, SPIN, NY Times, Nike, Playboy, Time Magazine, Wired, among others.
Here are some of my favorites from his gallery:
