artist hunting

I've finally decided to surf the web and look for an artist that has work i enjoy looking at. I found this guy, James Jean, who i can't remember if I've seen his work or not before. His work is interesting to me because its diverse in a way i like it. He has some figure paintings that captures the volume, forms, and tones of the people. And he also has some surreal pieces as well which makes me believe that anything can be possible through the form of art. his subject matter tends to be people, which is what i find most interesting to draw, and it can be humorous, in sort of a dark way. Like his 2010 piece "shoemakers". I enjoyed looking for new artist to be inspired by and am not so down on it as much. Also his sketchbook is really cool too.

I love James Jean. He is my fav. I've posted a few pieces of his artwork on my blog so maybe there? I have a Giant Robot Magazine with his stuff in it if you wanna borrow it.
