H.B. LEWIS: IN PROCESS focuses on taking an idea from concept to completion, allowing collectors a rare and fascinating opportunity to see the creative process in action. There's an exciting and compelling selection of masterful drawings in the inimitable Lewis style - intricate line work, sculptural complexity, and a depth of detail. This is what makes works on paper so appealing, and working drawings in particular - being able to see clear evidence of the artist's thinking as he sifts through the specifics of personality and character. Great stuff!

From a lively pencil sketch of a business traveler trapped among tourists in economy class, to the wine stained nose of an indulgent board member decked out as a Roman emperor, each offering is a small masterwork. Beautiful and evocative book illustrations, magical production art for a PBS special, whimsical and witty spot illustrations, and powerful and ironic magazine covers all from from the hand of one of the most respected and prolific animation designers working today. Ample proof of how a fine animation artist can influence contemporary culture far outside the frame of film.
