Kindling is also the name of the exhibition James Jean held earlier in 2009. This poster book contains a selection of those works. They are all personal, non-commissioned pieces.
The book itself is pretty big at about 20 inches diagonal. There are 12 high quality prints on white cardboard, each easily detachable. I guess this format is chosen so that people can frame them or just paste them on walls.
Speaking of framing art...more
The prints are of high enough quality to frame and all have the pencil work, which often is as good or even better than the final pieces on the back.
Would be 5 stars but besides the one fold out which gives the entire print a decent amount of room some of the paintings originally covered multiple canvas, would have been better if these were given one page per canvas.
