Peter De Seve

In college, we watched talks people who work with character, as designers, animators, or artists. The first was a man called Peter De Seve.

Peter De Seve mostly does illustration work, for newspapers, magazines and such.

I've noticed an interesting habit in his work, which is to insert fanciful, unreal aspects to ordinary situations, especially in his work for The New Yorker. His caricature-like art style gives an interesting spin to it, that you don't notice the fanciful aspect right away. On first glance, the art looks like a simple caricature of an average moment of life, but when you look again, you realise something is not as simple as it appears.
