It's the bright, contrasting colors that attract my eyes to Jason Levesque's illustrations. Also known as the Stuntkid, Jason came up with his art name while working at a dot-com start-up in Williamsburg. “I would ride my skateboard down the stairs. I was doing a lot of office stunts. I thought maybe Stuntboy, but that name was already taken, so I went with…
