Illustration by James Jean

If the illustration world has any rock stars, James Jean is certainly one of them. I have loved his work for many years now, I was initially drawn to his early journal work, but lately it has been his cover artwork for the comic book series called Fables.

I love his exotic style and technique, in particularl I like his contemporary and personal interpretation of well known mythology and fairytales (little red riding hood and the big bad wolf).

I was also lucky to see him speak at Semi-permanet in Auckland in 2009 and was even more impressed by his down to earth nature.
