Peter De Seve is someone that Teresa suggested I look at, mostly because he does both editoral and character design work. He's been in the New Yorker multiple times, his work has a very classical illustration style (which isn't something I'm personally any good at) but what I do like about it is the small details within the illustrations he produces (like the small mouse commuter, and the vegetarian animals outside the lion's cafe).
He also character designs for various films. His practice is one that I think is really varied and sums up really what I'd like to be doing in the future. Peter has won many awards for his work, including an emmy on his work for outstanding character design on ICE AGE.
Being introduced to Peter De Seve's work really did fill me with confidence as I have previously thought in the past that character design for films had to be hyper realistic and also thought that character based work didn't have much of a place in editorial (being proved wrong sometimes is nice eh?)
I have decided to tweet Peter De Seve as he uses twitter regularly and comes across as someone who does like to reply to admirers of his work and fellow illustrators. I decided to do this rather than clog up his business contact page (although I will do if he doesn't tweet back.. maybe..)
I dont actually have an illustrator account on my twitter as it's normally just for my personal amusement, however there's nothing on my personal twitter that would offend an industry profesional so I feel like it's a relatively safe bet.
