There is a new print from James Jean over at the Process Recess shop. “Wave II” is one of the open edition prints, at 17″ x 22″ on Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper, signed and embossed. It’s a beautiful image, I love how James is able to not only make colorful energetic and brushy works, but also classy pieces like this. His shop is sure to have something for everyone.

Just before the new years I posted about the “Rickshaw” print by James Jean. This print can now be found in his online shop, along with a new print based on a painting. “Hound” is 22″ x 17″ on Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper, signed and embossed for $87. It’s a very colorful and energetic print, I don’t know if I am feeling it as much as some of his other work, but he is definitely one of those artists that always makes interesting work.

Back in July James Jean shared an illustration that he did of Sally Jupiter (played by Carla Gugino) from the movie Watchmen. The image showed up in the trailer, but only for a second. Shame as it’s a really great illustration. The Art Director Alex McDowell wanted the piece to have a Vargas like feel to it, I think James succeeded perfectly with that.

The print is 17″ x 22″ on Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper, it’s open edition so the print will be in the shop for a while now.
