Book Reviews of The Hallowed Seam (Process Recess, Vol. 3)
Book Review: for those who enjoy process work.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for the James Jean lover, or anyone who enjoys process work.
Not everyone realizes the importance of the process behind a piece. In this book, James Jean offers the world a chance to look beneath the surface of his finished work and into his very being -sort of like looking under the water to reveal the rest of the iceberg. The sketches presented in Process Recess III are a visual diary of his life and are filled with tiny writings scribed by the himself (some of which you are able to read, e.g. his life-drawings of Sasha Grey). Also, the images shown in this book are photographs taken of the pages of his sketchbooks rather than scans. However, it doesn't make a difference since they're still very vivid.
Alongside his sketches, it also contains a small amount of photos (approx. 20) of scenery that I presume were taken by Jean (not really sure if that's accurate). The quality of the book binding/materials are very good, but have some (but not significant) impurities on the cover, e.g. there are a few bumps near the top of the spine in my copy of the book that can be seen on the front cover (probably due to an offset during the binding process).
Finally, the majority of pages are numbered and follow a hand-written index.
