David Chelsea Thinks Ink And Talks Perspective

Attention Seattle! I'll be taking my act to your fair city this coming Friday, giving a talk at Gage Academy on my favorite topic, perspective (and selling copies of my new book Extreme Perspective! as well as its predecessor, Perspective!) as well as attending the opening of a group show at the Steele Gallery. I quote from the Gage press release:

David Chelsea is reading:

The Pinball Effect

by James Burke

Coming Soon to the Steele Gallery: Think Ink

August 5 – September 5

Opening Reception: Friday, Friday, August 5, 6:00pm-8:00pm

Local artists, cartoonists and graphic illustrators exhibit pen and ink artworks that display exceptional technical skill and creative, narrative story lines. Working with the constraints and possibilities of the fluid nib and inkwell, artists David Chelsea, David Lasky, Bob Rini, Jim Woodring and more dazzle the viewer with complex compositions and unexpected shifts in perspective.

Keeping it in Perspective,

with David Chelsea

Friday, August 5, 7:00pm

Author, illustrator and comic book artist, David Chelsea, employs all of his talents in his newest book, Extreme Perspective for Artists, an illustrated text that makes the more technical aspects of perspective drawing accessible to artists, cartoonists, illustrators and animators. A sequel to his previous book Perspective! For Comic Book Artists, this entertaining and informative book will aid any artist in understanding how to render complicated multi-sided objects in perfect perspective and create accurate shadows and reflections from your own imagination.

David Chelsea has contributed to hundreds of publications including The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune and Reader's Digest, and he illustrated the Modern Love column for The New York Times. He studied at the School of Visual Arts, Parsons Institute and The New York Academy of Art, and has been a commercial artist for over 30 years.

Below are some of the pieces included in the show:
