Among the artists who have contributed both original, new and previous works to the cause include AJ Fosick, Ana Bagayan, Bob Doucette, Clayton Bros, James Jean, Lola, Marion Peck, Mark Ryden, Martin Witfooth, Naoto Hattori, Nate Frizzell, Shepard Fairey, Steven Daily, and more.

James Jean Presents New Works in Tokyo Exhibit “Zugzwang”

Hi-Fructose Vol. 15 cover artist James Jean will debut new works in a solo show at Tokyo's Hidari Zingaro gallery on November 7th. His latest body of work consists of mixed media drawings on paper and a large painting on copper plates. The show title, "ZUGZWANG", derives from a term used by chess specialists to describe a situation in which a player is forced to make a move to his disadvantage. It's also a term that Jean has used to describe his creative process, where the more he draws, the more he feels compelled to continue working.
