The Art of David Sheskin

A self taught artist, at the age of 40 David Sheskin created the first of hundreds of unique and imaginative works of art he would produce over the next thirty years. Initially working in pen and ink, during the 1980s and 1990s most of his drawings were published in numerous magazines, as well as in the book Magician With a Pen: The Collected Drawings of David J. Sheskin (Wingspan Press, 2007). Now for the first time the artist's more recent work is presented in a single volume in this visually stunning book which represents a collection of paintings, sculpture, mixed media works, and digital illustrations created by David Sheskin during the past 20 years. It contains more than 500 imaginative and uplifting images that are characterized by the artist's dramatic use of color and form. The book is divided into 18 galleries - each gallery being characterized by a specific theme that captured David Sheskin's imagination at a particular point in time. Many of the images in the book have been published within the format of calendars (by Avalanche Publishing and Pomegranate Communications, as well as in calendars published in Europe), note cards, jigsaw puzzles, and children's games. All of David Sheskin's art is available within the format of giclee fine art prints, and can be accessed on his website The Art of David Sheskin (www.davidjsheskin.com)
