James Jean News and Releases

[bsharp]

Weird choice for a timed. Ez pass. Then again, I haven't bought a timed jj since skippers.

Didn’t skip skippers and passed on the rest. Based on the titles you are an enigma

"Gatcha, man" is a reference to her cowl as it resembles Gatchaman which is better known as Battle of the Planets in the States.

However, we were recently informed that the images on the first batch of 38 shipped prints did not match the owners' NFTs. Upon further investigation, we found out that the source files provided to us were from a pre-raffle set of images and were not the final set after the reveal. Unfortunately, the idea that this type of error could occur was overlooked, and as a result, the entire run of prints has mismatched images to each ID number. We are all quite stunned by this realization.

Moving forward, my printmaking team and I remain committed to finishing the redeemed prints correctly. In order to reduce waste and increase efficiency, I propose that we reduce the print embellishments to only include a blind embossing and hand signature. This streamlined approach will still take time to complete, as the process of preparing the digital files, printing, trimming, flattening, signing, and embossing is still extensive. (Also, supply of material is a factor, as we are the top customer of a certain type of fine art paper in the world, sometimes exhausting global supply.) Once the final process is determined between Outland and my team, we will provide a more accurate timeline. Second, we will discuss what to do with the current batch of finished prints and share our thoughts. Also, in order to keep the editions consistent, we must recall the shipped prints.

note about the fragments prints.

yikes... quite a fuckup... ouch.

for context it was a run of 3.2k unique prints...

Oof! Somebody is now unemployed I bet.

[Codeblue]

Favorite purchases of 2022 were from James Jean's show at Contemporary Art Museum in Shanghai -
Tiger II, Guomang, and Monarch
They allowed me to buy 2 copies of the very rare and stunning Tiger II 2013 Schema prints published in HK
The nice surprise was seeing that the print surface has a grid of embossed gold dots which give it overall sparkle


By the way , the Chinese market for JJ is very strong , Of the the approximately 2000+ prints from the 2022 Shanghai show
, and 4000+ prints from his 2021 Seoul BTS show , not many seemed to find there way to USA collections ...
2023 Happy New Year of the Rabbit

any interest in selling? I'm in love with that Monarch print

$700 Ed 314

[sidewaysscott]

$700

[Codeblue]

Luls. Looking forward to those frame ups right next to yalls mirrors.

[jpicken]

Hard pass

[jeffgriz]

Only for the JJ whales.

[Animale]

Do we think $700 is the new cost of prints or is this because it has Aronfosky's signature?

[jkw3000]

Would assume the combo of Aronofsky sig/Fraser sig on the APs/small run (because of the sigs) is the reason. Non-timed JJ prints have tended to be pricier anyway.

[KSUvet]

They need a lottery for that?

[lebantz]

Did he weigh 314 lbs? I am in awe this is even a product.
