“Hare”, James Jean Show Poster

James Jean has a solo show coming up at the Jonathan Levine Gallery this coming January. The show is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us all. The Levine Gallery always has the images from the show up super fast, and the site is a joy to browse around in.

It looks like James has put up a downloadable version of the show poster up on his site. You can print it out pretty big, I got mine to around 10″ x 12″ and it looks fantastic, I have some Rives BFK to print this onto as well. Grab some nice paper and go to town, he said you can “Feel free to download, distribute, print out, and share with friends, family, and uninitiates.” Thank to Hi-Fructose to this news.

Head on over to grab the print: Process Recess

Joshua Liner Gallery also has two solo shows opening: “Imminent Utopia” by Kris Kuksi and “Departure” by Pat Rocha. Both shows are online, and they look amazing.

Merry Karnowsky Gallery has two solo shows opening: “Inhuman Oddities” by Travis Louie and “Super Systems” by Kill Pixie. Looks like the site is getting redone so no work to see right now. MkGallery.com

Released: “Fables: Covers” book by James Jean

Every week when I go out to pick up the latest comics, I have a bad habit of often buying a few based on how amazing the cover is. Fables is one of those comics. I am told the stories are great, but it’s really the art by James Jean on the cover that draws me in.

If you head on over to his website, he now has a book filled with covers, sketches and progress shots. The book is hardbound, 208 pages, 2-sided 4 color dust jacket, black foil embossing and 1 Color tipped-in plate on the case. The book is also signed if you buy it from his online shop, or you can get it signed in person at the Gallery Nucleus on November 29th. The book looks amazing and will be a good replacement for all the loose Fables comics I have.
