James Jean

James Jean is a Los Angeles, Ca based artist with a wicked style and a pretty diverse and prestigious client list. But what excites me most are his sketches. Not only do they show insights into his process, but it uncovers a very personal side to the artist. From his website bio: “ Since 2007, he has stopped illustrating in favor of personal paintings, book projects, and gallery shows, summoning faded memories and tracing fleeting arabesques.”


Great post JP! These are amazing. I’ve never seem his sketchbooks before. You can see an older post on James Jean>> http://www.farmidable.com/2008/06/24/james-jean.
Wow that work is really amazing with that kind of sketching so detailed, I to be honest have never heard of James Jean until I found this site and his work is really remarkable, thanks for sharing. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on a couple of prints.
