It appears that hyper-productive, hyper-talented artist James Jean has been burning the midnight oil again—this time in the service of AIDS awareness. Through superagency TBWA\PARIS, he's produced two sexy, inviting posters for the French activist group AIDES with the theme "Explore. Just protect yourself." The images are pretty hot—think Hieronymous Bosch meets John Currin—and even if the copy isn't quite as creative, it's still a message worth hearing. Those kids at the Sorbonne would do totally better with posters like these on their walls than ones featuring, say, Jerry Lewis. (jamesjean.com + coloribus.com, via juxtapoz.com)
