There are a few previews around that show what is inside the book, but with the quality of work that James creates, I’m sure this book is going to be amazing.
It’s been a year long in the making, and now the James Jean “Hint Mints” series is finally finished. Previous series featured such artists as Glenn Barr, Owen Smith, Gary Baseman and Shag. The mint tins should be ready for purchase soon, but for those that fancy prints instead James has added open editions of these illustrations in the Process Recess online shop. Each one of the prints is 17″ x 21″ on ultrasmooth art paper, signed and embossed for $85 each.

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.

James Jean’s solo show at the Jonathan Levin Gallery is now over. Except for a couple of limited edition prints, the show is all sold out.
Over on Process Recess James has added a bunch of new prints based on the works in the show. “Vanity” and “Maze” have been there for a bit, but the four portraits are new. The “hare” print (shown) that was given away for free, is now in the shop but doesn’t have the show name and info on it. Each print is 17″ x 22″, Giclee on Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper. All of the prints found in the shop are open-edition, so be careful when your looking for prints on Ebay. I have seen a few of these prints sell for four times the price because the buyer didn’t know any better.
