'Ever since he was a young boy growing up on a farm, Charley Harper loved animals and enjoyed drawing and painting pictures of them. For over 60 years, Charley painted beautiful, colourful and graphic paintings of nature, animals and the world around him. Birds, insects and many other creatures visited him everyday in the woods behind his home studio in Cincinnati,Ohio.'
CHARLEY HARPER 123s (Ammo Books 2008)
Found these board books by illustrator Charley Harper. Thinking about framing some of the cards - I really like the detail, colours and graphic look that he called 'minimal realism'. 'Birds and Words' (Ammo Books 2008) is a collection of silk screens made up into an 'enchanting nature book'.
