Local Fauna - The Art of Peter de Sève

Featuring beloved New Yorker covers, iconic animated characters, and more, this is the definitive monograph by leading artist and illustrator Peter de SèvePeter de Sève’s work spans four decades and various media, including magazines, books, television commercials, Broadway posters, and character designs for animated feature films. He is perhaps best recognized for his many covers for The New Yorker magazine and his character designs for the blockbuster Ice Age franchise (Scrat is a veritable international celebrity). De Sève has also contributed to such films as Finding Nemo, Robots, The Little Prince, and The Grinch to name only a few. He is currently working as lead character designer to establish the design style across Netflix’s recently acquired Roald Dahl franchise, including Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Peter de Sève’s monograph will showcase his distinct and captivating style, from character design for animation (especially but not limited to Ice Age), his work on iconic Broadway posters, his beloved New Yorker covers, and a smattering of sketches and personal work that have become fan favorites across social media. The book will open a doorway into de Sève’s universe of design, and it will include behind-the-scenes shots of his studio and process—from a character or cover’s first conception to the final product—and all the creative iterations and exercises along the way. It includes an introduction by Dreamworks animator Carter Goodrich and an interview with Bill Watterson, the legendary creator of Calvin & Hobbes, as well as essays by The New Yorker art director Françoise Mouly, Disney animator Glen Keane, creator of Hellboy, comic artist Mike Mignola, and illustrator Randall de Sève.
