Teefury

Words from the curator:

Artist Ste7en Lefcourt knocks another one out with a design that's more than meets the eye...

What inspired you to make this piece?

I have an older brother who was always into cars.  He had a lot of the classics over the years and even restored a few himself.  I was never much into cars but I wanted to do a tee design he might appreciate, and then I came up with this idea.

What's your favorite subject to draw?

Not so much a subject, but I love taking lots of smaller objects to create bigger or hidden imagery.  Collage style illustrations.

Did you study art formally?

No.  I was never able to because of a condition with my drawing hand /wrist.  I was accepted to the art school where I wanted to go, but found out a week after my interview there that my condition would be severely worsened by the 3 year intensive course I was supposed to go for.

What's your drawing process like?

I draw like a sculptor sculpts.  I create an entire image and keep refining it until it looks like I pictured in my head.  A lot of people will work on a small piece at a time, draw a very intricate head, then add another piece, but I  take an entire block of imagery and work on everything in levels as I move from less to more detailed.

What's the weather like in the Northeast these days?

Global warming has really improved it this winter.  I am really appreciative of that because I despise the cold.  Thanks China.
