Taiwanese-American visual artist James Jean sits down with jeffstaple for an in-depth conversation into his almost obsessive creative process. The result is a free form exploration into the battle that goes into being an artist, and trying to make a lane in a medium already overrun with people. Watch as he describes what went into some of the design elements for his contribution to Prada’s flagship store in New York City. Jean will also be at Reed Space today (October 23) for a signing of his new book, Rebus.
