James Jean News and Releases
I'm not really a fan/follower, but that IG video was pretty neat.
"I see dudes using cotton gloves on prints that I know were printed while someone was drinking a beer or eating Cheetos, while water leaked from the ceiling. And I'm not even talking about my shop!" - alexfugazi
"Wish we could have made more but these are extremely difficult to produce - only one print can be made in a day." - jjAedward5 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 10:31 amMan I hope this isn’t a new trend for JJ. Could have just as easily released passage as a timed edition, maybe set it at $500 due to how complicated the printing process was. Just don’t see buying a print at that price and then spending an additional $1k of framing.

Yeah , that print looks pretty badass
I'm not someone else.
Saw this in person at Complexcon, that print was something special in person, i was speaking with the gallery owners and they are in works to do a few other prints with JJ next year. He told me it took JJ and the team about 2 months to do 60 prints but soo awesome

Obvs aren't too familiar with avant. They seem to have a collector base with very deep pockets for just about anything they put out.

No talk of the new release?
Paper size: 27-3/4″ tall × 21-1/2″ wide
Holographic and dimensional enhancements
Intricately detailed dimensional chop
Signed by James Jean, and numbered
Release date: November 19, 2019
Edition Size: 500
Price: $500
Image size: 23-1/2″ tall × 17-7/8″ wideThe Editor prunes the branching narratives of her imagination emerging from a ceramic planter on her lap. The leafy shoots reveal pairs of eyes, each highlighted with a holographic sheen and sculpted in shallow relief. The eyes refer to a painting of Saint Lucy, the protector of sight, by Francesco del Cossa from the 15th century. She wields her pruning shears carefully, letting the superfluous petals of her content fall to the cutting room floor. Within the planter are various touchstones regurgitated and left by the cranes flying in the distance. Aristotle once described in The History of Animals that the crane carries within it a touchstone that can be used to test for gold. In fact, cranes will ingest gizzard stones to aid in their digestion and deposit them in faraway regions at the end of their migrations. The Editor collects these touchstones as a way to evaluate the merit of each branching narrative, letting them steep in her witches’ brew. Just as the Editor appraises her creation through multiple passes, this limited edition print has gone through 9 separate passes through different presses in order to create all the effects. The thin, delicate lines of the drawing have been carefully retraced and embellished with silvery holographic foil, and the chop beneath has pearl, holographic, and dimensional enhancements.
