000092 - art of james jean

james jean is one of my favourite artist today and i always find his artwork very inspirational. his work is amazingly detailed and fluid, most of his linework and layouts are like beautiful lyrics that ebb and flow around the page and his use of colours, never harsh nor dull, but warm, inviting and truly mesmerising. some of you familiar with comics would probably have seen his covers for fables and other d.c. comics titles.

be sure to check out his website and admire at some of his amazing work and especially the sketchbooks. he has a blog that shows some of the processes he goes through making a piece of artwork. and there's also a great interview with him over at thehundreds.com that i found via the always awesome 4colorrebellion.com site.

check these links out and be inspired. i know i am.
