Well folks, to say the least, if you haven't heard of James Jean quite yet then you should look his work up cause SWEET JESUS the man has chops. As I've taken to James Jean, I also found another artist/illustrator by the name of Tomer Hanuka who was heavily involved with the movie "Waltz with Bashir." Jean is a maniac when it comes to playing with different media, different sized pieces, and figurative interaction within a piece. He truly is a force to be reckoned with. Tomer's work lends itself to Jean's quite a bit but goes in it's own direction, to a much more illustrative place. Tomer actually does a lot of work for publishers as well as magazines and, after reading some of these books, he certainly captures key elements from the literature, puts his own twist on it, and brings it to the cover. The colors and interaction within either artist's pieces are dynamic, and yes folks, in this post you are getting two for the price of one and, this very two for one deal is pretty much the equivolent of walking into an exotic car dealer and finding that if you buy one Lamborghini that you get another dated version for free. "Two Lamborghini's?" You would say, and then proceed to jump off the ground with a triumphant cheer as if you were but a five year old again.
