James Jean
I think James Jean might be my favorite artist. I saw his art first, I think, on the cover of Fables, the magnificent comic series by Bill Willingham. James Jean is a Taiwanese-American artist who works across mediums and, I think it’s safe to say, is prolific. His Instagram is something to behold; the volume, speed, and quality on display are inspiring.
His style is so unique and his imagination so wild, it’s…well, it’s hard to imagine a single conduit for so much. I’m in awe of his talent and find myself impressed over and over with his latest and greatest. My favorite work of his might is one of the most simple: Maze from 2008.
