Reviews
"Peter's characters are believable, original, and always appealing. ... he takes something you think you know and gives it to you in a way that you've never seen it before." -- John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Studios, "Peter can just draw! Without any tricks or fancy techniques, he drives comic book and animation artists crazy." -- Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy
Synopsis
In this exquisite monograph, world-renowned illustrator and character designer Peter de Seve shows his favorite published and unpublished works. Inventive, eccentric, and often irreverent, they represent a lifetime of drawing . . . a very sketchy past. The imagery that springs from his pen marries colorful personalities with expert storytelling, and wild flights of imagination with a masterly drawing technique that harkens back to a bygone era of impeccable draftsmanship and craft. Copiously illustrated with hundreds of paintings and drawings, including never-before-published New Yorker cover roughs, behind-the-scenes animation development artwork, and personal sketches, A Sketchy Past is the first comprehensive survey of de Seve's work. A career-spanning biographical essay written by historian Amid Amidi, along with comments from de SA¨ve throughout the book, offer a unique insight into his approach to illustration and his artistic process., In this exquisite monograph, world-renowned illustrator and character designer Peter de S ve shows his favorite published and unpublished works.
