i am incapable of drawing skinny cats.

Stevie Lewis on a Roof in South Philly Somewhere with my cat Jazz and my Mothers Shells.

That title right there about sums it up.
Still needs some working. Check back and I am sure I will have changed something.

i'm bringing sexy back.

Well here I am in the land of unemployment... also known as philadelphia. Relaxing, running around, waiting hoping praying for some sunshine so I can spend the last blissful days of summer at the beach. (oh please oh please oh please)

But this isn't the true meaning of this post. This post well... let's just say it is sexy. I have been contacted by some women artist in France to do some freelance work. It is for a short animated film that will be featured along other short animated films... that's genre is not meant for kids. These couple of images where done for a script "plane fear" where a women is going to Madagascar and is scared of planes... and yada yada yada.

I first took the script literally. Doing some really rough mood images of this women on the plane.


Then I was told to do something more abstract and sexy.


BOOYA! I actually really like this image. It isn't something I would normally do. Well I can put on my resume I can do a sexy ladies.

Up next. teashop!

FJORG!!!!!!

So i just attended the animation competition at Siggraph called FJORG in New Orleans. It was a blast! I got to work with my two good friends Kent and Alejandra. The theme was "Great Expectations" and we had to use a sound effect that the provided to us. It was a very long night seeing how we only had 36 hours and only 45 minutes of sleep between the 3 of us, but 4 cups of coffee, one red bull and a heart palpitation later we made our film! Enjoy!

Ponyo

I just saw "Ponyo" and got to ask the great director Hayao Miyazaki a question. This is a good day since the other day when I got my wallet stolen. But that is another story. The point is Ponyo is an awesome movie. With one of the most powerful/magical scenes I have seen in a long time. Basically it makes me want my own ponyo.... ponyo, ponyo, ponyo.

Francesco

i have discovered the best way to draw francesco. after many many stupid sketches that have been scribbled out or lost, or simply will never see the light of day, i think i finally nailed it. he is sleeping on the couch right next to me snoring. i invite everyone to do the same. francesco is a very fun person to draw but not to eat with. all he does is order hamburgers and complain about ihop... which he pronounces i hope. which i think is a very marketable name now a' days with obama and all. enjoy.

and my personal favorite.
