Thankful for Peter de Seve -- Peek inside "Local Fauna" (updated 12.19.23)

An artist to be thankful for is Peter de Seve. He's renowned in many fields... illustration, character design, posters, New Yorker covers... and a popular panelist, artist guest at conventions, and instructor at workshops. Peter's also a longtime friend of SNB. Here are Peter and Stuart at SDCC in 2010.

Here's a link of Peter at the SNB booth at SDCC back in 2009 https://stuartngbooks.blogspot.com/2009/07/sdcc-2009-peter-de-seve-part-1.html

Peter's brand new book is a substantial 288 pages! A rich treasure trove of images... and behind-the-scenes of his working process. Stuart is pleased on offer an option to purchase an exclusive, signed bookplate along with the book.

UPDATE 12.19.23 -- Peter posted on his Instagram about this 12.15.23 Wall Street Journal review of his book. The review is by animation art scholar John Canemaker.
