This volume features pinups, projects that never took
off, panels from his story “Painted Ladies of San Quentin,” even a revisit to a
piece he did when he was twelve years old! Lenox also shows his process of
doing the pieces; from layout all the way to the finished product.
I am a big fan of Jason’s work. Freistuhler’s introduction (in my mind) slams
the use of “old school” when describing Jason’s art, saying it’s “as relevant
as ever.” Jason has taken the “old school” method and made it as fresh as
anything in this age of digital art. My favorite piece is “Survivor,” about what
an immortal has lived through in his lifetime. One third of the piece shows him
as a Roman general, a third as a Nazi officer, and the final third as a corporate
CEO. The lack of color helps blend the time periods and it looks beautiful. Jason Lenox's art inspires me to be more creative.
