James Jean - My Chemical Romance Black Parade Final Line Drawing 0

[ComicsAndCode]

Hey all,

I am selling an original James Jean piece that I personally bought from him back in 2008. It is the final line drawing of the Black Parade album cover. It is professionally framed using ultraviolet protective glass. I am asking $15000. At that price, I will deliver the piece to your door anywhere in US or Canada, free of charge.

 

This is probably one of James most elaborate commissioned work.

Just amazing...a great piece for any medium, genre or age.

 

I love that so much. The album wasn't half bad either.

Stunning! Good luck with the sale.

The piece is actually probably james jeans best piece ever. And that is saying alot considering the fables covers

 

The album was amazing. the songs had stories and feelings. The set list had a perfect flow to it. It was angry and sad yet uplifting. It is everything a great album should be

 

If it wasn't for MCR, The Killers, and muse I wouldn't listen to new music.

 

This art is amazing I hope you sell it. I wish I could buy it.

So great. If it doesn't sell here, this is the kind of piece that might do pretty well at Heritage.

A decade on from the OP's @ComicsAndCode post...does anyone know where this piece ended up?  It's the finished line drawing for the My Chemical Romance album cover to "Welcome to the Black Parade" by James Jean. The prelim sold at Heritage last year (I'm not interested in that one), but I'm not sure what happened to the finished line art. 

Some may recall that the piece was shopped around and, frankly, got very overexposed between 2011-13.  I did a deep dive through my old e-mails/records and saw that, at one point, it was offered for as high as $22K and then as low as $8.2K after numerous price reductions.  At some point, I offered $7.5K for it, which was initially rejected, but, the seller (not sure if it was the OP or if it had changed hands by then) came back to me and said he'd take it, but, regrettably, the moment had passed for me and I was no longer interested at that time. #regrets

Fast forward to 2021, though, and I'm feeling a lot of nostalgia for that period of music and I'd definitely have interest in buying and/or trading for this piece if anyone knows where it ended up!  Please DM me or hit me up on CAF (https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=2354) or Instagram (@collections_gp) if you have any info - thanks!

Hey Gene!

Wow...why did you have to remind me of this sale?! Argh! I have major regrets for putting this up on the market when I did and selling it. I don't recall offering it below $10K but it's very likely that I did as I was in the process of buying a home and needed the extra cash for the down payment. Baby on the way too - stressful times. So I sold James' MCR cover art and a Batman #1 and bought our first home.

Anyway, I sold this piece in the Fall of 2012 for $12,500. Filled with regret, a year or so later, I asked the buyer if he would sell it back at a premium, but he declined. I don't know who owns it now.

 A handful of OA collectors have reached out to me about it since.

Just FYI on how I acquired the art - I emailed James some time in 2008 specifically for the piece because was a fan (still am) of both his work and MCR. He responded and to my surprise, told me that it was still in his possession and was willing to sell. He invited me to his home, we chatted for a while, showed me around his studio and I left with the piece. Such a memorable moment in my life.
