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.”
