Book Review: LA/SF: A Sketchbook from California

Christian Schellewald is an art director. Some of the movies he worked on includes Over The Hedge and Shrek 2. He currently works for Dreamworks SKG.

This is his personal sketchbook with drawings of Los Angeles and San Franciso. The style is very loose and medium varied. It is perhaps a little bit too loose, which I think pushes some pieces over to being almost abstract. The ones I like best are those that I can see clearly what he's drawing.

Most are captioned only with locations and nothing else. This sketchbook is perhaps a little too personal. Art is also about showing people what to see.

The book itself is clothed hardcover, so it might attract dirt if not probably taken care of.
