#21 Ken Tanaka's neighbor, artist James Jean 友達を紹介する田中

Since I started my search for my parents, Jonathan and Linda Smith, I have met so many nice people, and made many new friends. My neighbor James Jean is one of them. You may not know his name, but you have probably seen his work. He is a 5 time Eisner award winning artist. James is well known for his covers of the DC comic book "Fables" and his beautiful illustration work for Nike, Rolling Stone and many other companies. Now James is moving into the world of fine art. He is a very nice artist, and he is also a very nice man. He has a cat named Taffy.

This is James' first ever video interview:)

Look for his upcoming show in NYC at the Jonathan Levine Gallery.

Does anyone know the name of the wines which James is creating the lables for? In the interview they mention Grateful Pallet but that is only the main company and not the name of the wine itself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
