Student Spotlight

Hey, folks!

I've been diligently working on my Oni book, and trying to get back into the swing of things at SCAD. We had a weird week there when Atlanta got totally snowed in, but we're recovering with make up classes.

Aside from pro work, I've got several projects in the works in the form of mini comics (that I will most definitely have at Fluke and Heroes Con this year) and long-form story pitches. I will definitely keep you guys updated on all that.

ALSO! I am the focus of the student spotlight on The Temple of Cartoon Mojo, which is a blog/group dedicated to SCAD-Atlanta sequential art students. Go check it out here.

Here's the very nice intro that my friend and professor, Nolan Woodard (who is an amazing artist and one of the smartest people I know), wrote for my interview:

"Our latest student spotlight came to us without a background in drawing at all. Jackie's BA is in Theater Studies from Emory and needed to take some provisional courses to prove she was up to snuff and could make it in our graduate program (since we don't let just anyone in). Not only did she prove herself but she excelled. Jackie Lewis took to drawing and storytelling like a fish does to water. The transformation from newbie to literally everything to proficient and accomplished artist as one of our lead graduates has been an amazing thing to behold and we at SCAD-Atlanta feel blessed we got to be there when it happened. Editors have taken notice of her work too and even before she has completed her studies she has already been published in an anthology and is also hard at work on her first graphic novel with Oni Press. You can check out more of her work and follow her at her blog aptly named Jackie Makes Comics. And, boy, does she ever!"

Thanks, Nolan!

Wizard World Atlanta

Alright, comics folks!!

It's time for another comic con! Wizard World Atlanta is happening THIS weekend, December 4-5, 10-6 on Saturday and 10-5 on Sunday at the Cobb Galleria Centre. You can find me at the Temple of Cartoon Mojo table on Saturday from 4-6 and Sunday from 10-12. I'll have some minis for sale and I'll be doing sketches and commissions.
There will be a ton of celebrities, including Vivica A. Fox and Adam West. The comics crew are bringing the awesome with guests like Cully Hamner, Cameron Stewart, and Shawn Crystal, along with many, many others. It's gonna be an awesome weekend full of geeking out about comics.

Be sure to stop by and say hey!

Put Baby Back

Follow the Bouncing Thumb

Riff Raff and Magenta, of course.

Why was Riff Raff so mad at Frank at the end? I never understood that. They were all from the Transylvanian planet in the Transexual Galaxy or whatever, and the partygoers (who I always took to be upper-ups checking on Frank's research) seemed pretty cool with everything Frank was up to, so how bad could Frank's behavior possibly be?

Well, I guess Frank was kind of a jerk to Riff Raff. Maybe RR was just jealous. Magenta was always pretty indifferent.

I'm going with jealousy. Sorry, Riff; you can't compete with a Charles Atlas man.

Dammit, Janet

Oh, Brad and Janet.


I always had a crush on Brad. He was too cute with his pretty shiny hair and thick glasses.

That, and maybe because he was the first man I ever saw in his underwear.

Bless my soul

I've been getting into the Halloween spirit this year by revisiting my love for The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I think I'll be doing some more portraits of the principal characters before Rocktober is over...

My favorite part of the movie when I was a kid was when Eddie busts out of the freezer. I'm pretty sure that the first time I saw Rocky Horror was the summer that I was obsessed with Elvis movies, and there was something about a dirty, zombie Elvis that really appealed to me.


I was probably a pretty weird kid.

Blacksad pinup

Probably one of the most fabulously drawn books out there right now, Blacksad tops my list of Awesome meeting Awesome, and making awesome babies.

Blacksad is a riveting film noir-style comic book cast with anthropomorphic animals (which lends itself brilliantly to the casting) .




Created by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido. Definitely pick it up if you want to be one of the cool kids.

Sketch challenge stuff

A couple of drawings that I did for the Temple of Cartoon Mojo blog for the sequential art department at SCAD Atlanta. You can find the posts with more sketches from even more artists here!

The Scotsman from Samurai Jack.

And Zelda and that cute floating bad guy. I made him fuzzy.

I also love this inking-with-fingertips method that I totally swiped from Doug Dabbs and Sean Murphy.

New business cards, kiddos!

Just ordered them!! Should be coming in the mail soon!
