Artist James Jarvis was recently in Beijing for an exhibition held by Chinese sportswear company Li Ning. China’s capital played host to a series of influential artists such as Jarvis and Kaws as a jump off to the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games. Here’s a time lapse shot of Jarvis in his element. Some of his work can also be seen in the upcoming release of Jarvis book Selected Drawings.
Amos Toys co-founder and artist James Jarvis is set to release a book documenting his designs and inspirations. As you flip through the 240 pages, be submerged first hand into the work of James Jarvis and his favorite illustrations between 2001 and 2007. The book includes illustrations over the years encompassing commercial work, comic strips, t-shirt graphics and toys. This project allows viewers to follow the conceptualization of an idea through drawing to the actual physical product.
Also set to release are three special YOD figures which each feature decorations of a mythical beast theme taken from Jarvis’ book. A small run of books will release at the end of November while a full run to take place in the Spring of 2008.
