The James Jean Raffle

“Like Wolverine, James Jean is the best at what he does. Unlike Wolverine, James Jean doesn’t kill people with razors that pop out of his hand. You might not know James Jean by name but you’ve seen his work. His art’s all over the place. It’s in galleries, on Prada bags, album covers, in magazines and on the covers of DC comics. Tom Herpich and Kenichi Hoshine are simlarly talented and definitely blow minds with their intense talent and vision but James Jean is the king. James’ drawings have sophistication, power and delicacy beyond what most drawers can muster.”

– Nick Gazin, VICELAND

James Jean is coming to Manila and we’re all excited. We were so excited that we called up Fully Booked and asked them to do this raffle with us. So we’re now running this contest, and Fully Booked is giving away these great prizes. Honestly, we want them for ourselves. If you want a shot at this, all you need to do is leave a comment below answering the question “Which is your favorite James Jean masterpiece and why?” You can leave as many answers as you want, but note that the top 10 entries will be decided upon by us.
