The Mind of Jason Lewis

Happy Birthday!!!

admin — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 03:22:00 +0000

On the dawn of my latest birthday I decided on a Karaoke party which just so happened to take place a Friday the 13th. I made this illustration to promote the event. After all, how often does a guy named Jason have a birthday party on Friday the 13th?

Comics In Motion

Here’s a fun little side project I’m working on! I am currently in the process of animating a comic I made back when I was a sophomore at SVA.

Phase 2

Phase 3

So far, (using Adobe Photoshop, Illusttator, and After Effects) I’ve completed this walk cycle. There’s still plenty more work to do.

Business Cards

I made these business cards for my personal freelance business. They’re based on the look of the New York State Driver’s License.

This is a business card I made for the owner of “The Soul Listener” website. He wanted his cards to look like the retro cassette tapes of the 80′s and 90′s (very cool idea). His actual business information went on the lines where the song title would go.

Intro to Flash

admin — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 17:57:41 +0000

This has been my most successful ball bounce animation in Adobe Flash. Instead of just having a floating blue ball moving around the screen (reminiscent of a game of pong), the weight, rotation, and softness of the ball were factored in. Learning how to adjust these properties makes all the difference in natural feel of the ball bounce. “God is in the details” as they say.

The League of Extraordinary Cartoonists

I started a group of SVA Cartooning Alumni on Facebook called The League of Extraordinary Cartoonists or LXC.
I designed this logo for the profile picture.

Info Graphic & Graffitti

admin — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 02:59:31 +0000

I put together this info graphic/map in Adobe Illustrator to illustrate a list of art shows that our artists were having across the country for that particular month. The map is done using the company’s signature “+” sign and pallet. A live version can be found here.

This is a graffiti version of the A+C Editions logo. They are a company that sells museum quality prints at accessible prices. I wrote a very short blurb about the rise of street art for them and thought it would be cool to make a tag version of their logo. Contact A+C Editions at customerservice@artandculture.com.

These storyboards are from a United States Tennis Association commercial that I recently worked on. The basic idea is that children need to learn sports in child sized facilities and with child sized equipment. Click here to see the commercial
