I had the pleasure of working with Don for many, many years, hiring him for jobs that I knew only a master could execute...he was such a wonderful artist, not to mention humble. The art world has lost a true talent. <br />~Beth Barnes Reiners~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-53170920880763186042007-09-28T17:29:00.000-04:002007-09-28T17:29:00.000-04:00HiM.

If you are still in touch with him, please let him know that there are many people who still very much admire his wonderful artwork. And if he is so inclined, I'd love to ask him in greater detail about his career.<BR/><BR/>best wishes - Leifleifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-32113344939989723262007-06-29T00:03:00.000-04:002007-06-29T00:03:00.000-04:00June 28, 2007For kicks, I looked for my ex husband...June 28, 2007<BR/>For kicks, I looked for my ex husband's bunny cartoons painted for Playboy Magazine and was led to your site. Just for clarification, Don Lewis is a real person, went to Chicago's American Academy of Art, is an exceptional artist, still 'arting' and resides in northern Indiana. Hugh Hefner always personally approved every cartoon that appeared in the magazine. He was very careful to not override his contract with Vargas when featuring similar cartoons. Hope this helps Leif solve the mystery. M. LewisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
