Jaw-dropping Awesome For people who collect art books, be they regular collectors or Artists themselves, there is usuually a handful of books that they will always love, that they would run into a burning house to get. For me, this is one of those books. James Jean ruined my experience with the Fables comics, because for me the inside is as important as the outside, but after seeing these covers, the inside is incomparable. So imagine my surprise when the best of the best is collected into one tasty volume! The book is beautiful, the work is stunning and inspiring. This book is like a fine wine among soda-pop. To have this book is to have a window into genius in your lap.
Gorgeous work, interesting process shots James Jean is one of the most talented illustrators out there, and this book is a great example. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in art, whether or not they are Fables fans. The process shots are also tremendously interesting, and the colors in this book are so rich and beautiful. I can't wait for more of his upcoming books, especially Kindling!
Wonderfully illustrated To all who love and want to experience The Art Of James Jean, this book is a must have. The illustrations are imaginative and inspiring. I adore and admire James Jean for his works of art and an very excited to see more of him in the furture.
I also recommend his XOXO Postcard book and Process & recess portfolio.
Js,
absolutely perfect I bought this book as a present for my husband, who is an artist. He is beginning work on a series of fairy tale pieces. He said the book is absolutely perfect. It is a large volume, with high quality binding and printing, and showcases many of James Jean's masterpieces.
Beautiful book! This is a beautiful, well put together collection of this artist's work. VERY high quality!
