James Jean is an award winning illustrator based in LA. He grew up in Parsippany, New Jersey a couple of towns away from me and also attended the SVA in New York. He recently had an art exhibition at the Jonathan Levine Gallery that quickly sold out. It wasn’t well advertised, but hundreds of his fans came out on opening night. It was a crowded sweat-box and there was no free alcohol, but it was definitely worth it. And yes, his real name is James Jean.
David Choe is friends with James Jean too. I think it says “Your son is your sin.” next to Choe’s face.
Jean’s wife is a very beautiful, tall, slender woman in real life and not very splotchy at all.
Hive, my favorite piece from his Kindling show.
Needs more dick.
Damn chink has been to art school, no stopping him now.
i want a woman that’s just a mouth set atop two big tits, both in front of a big juicy ass, and above a tight vag.
i thought this was supposed to be cut vs. uncut ?
^ I’m talking about cock
@ the two whiners sucks above: lol at your impersonation
That would have been better.
Val is soooooo impressionable.
Looks like a bunch of nude studies by an decent drawer.
i like these
… alot… …and Val too.
You’re going to get yourself cut calling someone a “drawer” like that.
Mechanics-a-ok!
His parents are disappointed that he’s not cashing Pixar checks. Same applies to that other Korean dude who cans squiggly shit and excessively networks.
MORE DICK.
James Jean-ius to his friends.
i’m really fat.
i like’em
It’s a miracle. She brought something that I haven’t seen, and it’s actually…I don’t know…good? Yes, good.
Val, these are gorgeous. I’m also heartened by the somewhat positive response.
Good work.
I want the old man on my f*cking wall! My living room is an obnoxious art gallery and my fridge is full of copious amounts of diet coke.
My name is Val. I try really really really hard to be meaningful.
i like these , but i feel bad for poor vsa. it will always be 4th fiddle to cooper union, pratt, and new school.
Dear Blognigger:
Your passion for vulgarity buried amidst social satire, has made me chuckle on at least 2 occasions. Frankly, that is a miracle, and I feel I owe you because you are “funny.” However, your sycophantic comments today towards Val “worry” me. No, not because they are directed towards Val, who seems cool enough, but because, as Blognigger, you are supposed to represent something greater than us all, something larger, something Meta. Yet, even your noble self appears to be weakened by that most fundamental of human temptations. It would appear that you view Val as sweet fruit, and perhaps that notion is reciprocated, but that does not mean you can simply disregard your responsibilities to the larger community.
Thank you,
tommyriches
my stomach thanks you for not including Sharon Tate or period sex this time around.
my brain isn’t really into agreeing with you that these pictures are in the slightest way, “neat”.
wow, someone passed their first semester of art school.
I like these, but val is still the epitome of the blogosphere leech. Aren’t you supposed to be some kind of artistic superstar? Where’s your own shit? Why don’t you post those drawings that you tried to own me with a couple weeks ago? Please? I’m always respectful of people’s art work. Just ask Blognigger.
That wasn’t me fags
@tommy gun
TOO LONG,

@Blognigger

“wow, someone passed their first semester of art school.”
You’re now obligated to post your own artwork. It’s clear that this fool isn’t an “artist as an art form” douche bag parading his ass around and snapping Polaroids.
Keep that flaccid shit pointed towards Val; she’s the author and I think she’s instigating some shit here.
i think these are really good. like to go see them myself. cool post.
How often does Val read hipsterrunoff? She fucking writes about it quite often…god I hate that website… and Val.
It’d be nice to meet some people that just naturally fall into the “hipster” category (genuinely good people who care about aesthetics and partying) without trying so fucking hard to be a hipster. I know they’re out there.
you shouldve shown more of the kindle series & his fables book, his sketches of people are good but meh compared to the crazy shit he paints
wait i thought this was sbtvc.com, not juxtapoz.com
^Really. Did he just finish studying impressionism? Or Mark Ryden? He’s good at drawing and everything…but why the fuck is this on street boners. Bore-Ang.
I like em.
The swine!
Your ironic 80s glasses make me want to pro-puke all over your face. And who gives a fuck if he’s won awards? Winning awards means dick, just ask Van Gogh. I’m also wondering why the fuck you feel the need to explain that his wife’s face isn’t “very splotchy at all.” Do you really think that anyone will confuse his attempts at shading with real world splotchiness?
Just get married to some middle-class fart and start pumping out the kittens already. Your time is long overdue.
Evolution ends right here, right now.
“Your ironic 80s glasses make me want to pro-puke all over your face. Just get married to some middle-class fart and start pumping out the kittens already.”
she can’t, she’s into chicks. but maybe that’s ironic too. whoa.
Also, I inhale massive amounts of cock. Yes, that was me. Watchoo gonna do bout it?
Hey, Val. I liked your demo reel. Shit was pretty cute. Keep on keeping on.
nappy’s tarded
love this so much
James Jean is fantastic. These idiots saying otherwise probably couldn’t draw a fucking stickman. ^”Keep on keeping on.”
