Life after Law: UVA Law grad, litigator, now pursues visual artistry

When Corwin Levi was practicing law, he would use Post-It® Notes to remind himself of what else he wanted to do in life. At some point, the reminders were so numerous that he decided to pursue a different path and he quit full-time law. Click to listen to him talking about his career decisions (video from Bloomberg Law). View his art here. Here's a blog post about a charming workshop he did with kids showing them how to use both words and pictures in their art (A Second Look). And see more of his art here; aren't the drawings he created in the margins of his law school notes wonderful?

From "When the Image Is the Word" (University of Virginia Magazine):

Levi, who entered law school after completing an MFA in painting at Temple University, is the first to admit that the intersection of words and images in his own life has led him down an unorthodox career path.

Long before becoming a full-time visual artist, Levi was taking intricate, visually stunning law school notes at U.Va. Levi was awarded a solo show based in part on the artistic merit of his law school notes, though it was U.Va.’s law library that first exhibited his notes as artwork.

I have to say my law school notes were not "stunning." Yours?
