LOL. Yes, he's has aged particularly well. I have a magazine that features an interview with him from 1994 and he looks EXACTLY the same! Goes to show, drawing is good or you...either that or his plastic surgeon is a genius! *GRIN

I can't believe this guy is over 50 years old. He looks like a 30 year old.

@bipolarblues No, dude! Don't ever think that way. When I was a teen, I thought it was too late for me to learn guitar. When I was in my twenties, I thought it was too late to learn how to surf. What a frickin' idiot I was to put arbitrary restrictions upon myself. Hey - I'm now 50, too, and I'm thinking about how to take best advantage of this gift of life. And I know I DO have talents that I've cherished and nurtured for my entire life - but just cuz I'm 50, it doesn't mean they're diminished!

I have to admit I always felt I should have been doing what Peter DeSeve has done with his life. Now I am 50 and I fear it's too late. I do have an art background but I did not reach what Pete has.

DeSeve's work is brilliant. No illustrator draws better than Peter and his colors are sublime. Whatever you do, DO NOT miss his work and the work of all the great Blue Sky Studio animators on exhibit at the Norman Rockwell Museum.
