Sometimes, people call us to talk about our new issues a few days before we even see copies. In our humble attempt to be ahead of that curve, we just received copies of our December 2010 Juxtapoz, and here you are: esteemed Los Angeles-based fine artist James Jean is the cover of issue n119.

This particular piece comes from Jean's 2010 series of Moleskine illustrations, some of his most striking and technical work to date in our opinion. In real form, it's simple ink on paper, 10" x 9."

The December Juxtapoz, issue n119, features:



James Jean: featuring an exclusive interview prior to his exhibition held in Japan this past month



George Lois: the legendary ad man and 1960's Esquire cover designer gives his opinion on "Mad Men"



Serena Mitnik-Miller: San Francisco's Ocean Beach artist on the power of a one-color piece



PEZ: we speak with the elusive and legendary graffiti / sticker artist on the history of bike messenger graffiti culture



Jason Alper: Borat and Ali G's costume designer steps out on his own
