We're normal people, we promise.
Have you heard of James Jean? While you might not have heard of him, chances are more than likely that you’ve seen and enjoyed his work. Among his list of well-known clients of various walks are: Prada, Target and Koji Igarashi (The creator of Castlevania). One of his starting gigs was the covers to Fables. Much to our delight, a finely crafted book gathered his gorgeous cover works during his run with Vertigo.
His work is of immense joy to behold, a blend of just the right amounts of classical rendering skills, a playful but mature illustrative sensibility with an international influence. The result of this is a timelessly enjoyable collection of work.The book holds itself to a high standard; it’s a huge format, it’s got solid binding, is printed on a high quality paper and a lot of care was put into the layout of the book. The sketches also provide a slight insight into his process in crafting the covers. It’s definitely an excellent thing to have if you’re a fan.

The residents of Anthem office are happy and proud owners of James Jean’s Fables Covers Collection.
