James Jean has only been working in comics since 2001, but over that time he has certainly made his mark on the industry. Winner of five consecutive Eisner Awards for Best Cover Artist (2004-2008) as well as numerous Harvey and Eagle awards, James is surely running out of space for all of his trophies! James has done extensive commercial and illustration work, but is perhaps best known for his recent work with Prada, as well as his impressive seven year run as the cover artist on Fables (DC/Vertigo). Sadly, James has announced that issue 81 will be his last cover on the series. Not all is lost, however, as James is on to bigger and better things as he pursues a career in Fine Art. His first solo gallery show will be at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in 2009. While this website will focus primarily on his original comic and illustration art, you should definitely check out James' website if you would like to see more of the beautiful work he has done.
