2nd Review: James Jean

James Jean, A notorious Taiwanese artist. Famous for the cover work for DC Comics. Other work includes ESPN and Prada. Here is an comic cover for the comic: FABLES. I find this art work very striking. The colour scheme is very... blue. Though the text of the artwork i find very different to the rest of the work yet somehow fits in perfectly. The wolf in the background portrays some of the story and seems to be hand drawn.

Another FABLE book cover, this has to be the best by far i've taken a look at! The skill is amazing and the colour scheme is brilliant!! The attention to detail on a cartoon like sort of illustration is very skillful. I like the lighting how it portrays a busy yet sunny day in the city.

Along side work for comic books james jean has also worked for prada. They chose his illustration "Tokyo in full bloom" to be animated on a building. The picture shows a female figure wearing prada glasses along side of some sort of pastel style multi coloured under water sea bed background.

Some of his latest work featured on his blog:

This is my favourite my james jean, the colours are so varied. The theme "mushroom" fits well with the colour scheme. His way of changing the skin colour too to reflect a sort of light mushroom colour is very clever. The depth of field is also striking, moving from level to level in distance aswell.
