Description
Book SynopsisOne of the singular talents in landscape design, Chip Sullivan has shared his expertise through a seemingly unusual medium that, at second glance, makes perfect sense - the comic strip. These strips gained a large following among architects and illustrators, and now those original works, as well as additional strips created just for this book, are collected in
Cartooning the Landscape.
Trade ReviewAs an architect who draws cartoons to accompany my Washington Post 'Shaping the City' column, how could I not love Chip Sullivan’s book? Today when designers create most drawings digitally, never lifting a pencil, this witty, didactic, manually crafted book is especially timely. Cartooning landscapes and much, much more, Sullivan artfully uses his pencil to craft images, tell stories, and teach lessons, recounting history and nostalgically evoking memories of what life was like before TV and smart phones."" — Roger K. Lewis, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland School of Architecture
""Chip Sullivan is known as a provocative, original illustrator and inspiring teacher. His drawings overflow with lessons on how to draw and represent landscapes, which is a complex endeavor. In
Cartooning the Landscape, Sullivan addresses several well-known (and some lesser-known) events in landscape and garden history but does so unlike anyone else. Sullivan makes history come alive and seem hip and relevant."" — Frederick Steiner, University of Texas at Austin, author of
Design for a Vulnerable Planet
