I had never thought of collaborating with another artist, but with @haroshi, it felt like an inspired combination. It is truly an honour to announce our collaboration, Trespassers. The limited print edition releases on July 20 with @avant.arte. Trespassers is where our two characters Woodcutter and Guzo meet. The boy clears a path through the forest with his axe. It’s uncertain whether he stole or rescued a much coveted Guzo, but what is clear is that he is a trespasser, and he has an expression of defiance as he pushes his way through a passage less travelled. For me, this collaboration represents fearlessly venturing into places where I feel I don’t belong. Launching July 20 – link in bio to enter the draw. #jamesjean #haroshi #trespassers
