Jay Lems

The other day I came across this sketchbook/portfolio by Jay Lems while I was researching the Bailey Traveling Fellowship. Jay was the 2001 recipient of the fellowship and the following images were part of his winning proposal. I was impressed by the mixture of analog and digital media, as well as the way in which the images successfully evoked an emotional response. I really appreciate the richness and texture of the charcoal as well as the saturation and unpredictability of the water colors.
Enjoy!
