Rick Sealock
Hi there little buckaroo. My history: I grew up in the wilds of Southern Alberta on a farm. I drew a lot. I also dug holes in the ground to see where they would go. I graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design. Then I taught there. I did a lot of illustrations. Then I taught at the Ontario College of Art and Design and Sheridan College of Art and Design. I am still teaching at the latter. And I am still doing lots of illustrations!
Make sure your eyeballs are securely nailed down before you open this book, or the fizz and frenzy of Rick Sealock’s art might pinwheel ’em right outta your face. Thus warned, you can now open this book. Herein you’ll find pure je ne sais Sealock: with their flash-bang colors, unfailing conviviality, and delirious, frame-busting muchness, these are works of singular optic nerve and sheer joy. So buy and open this book already!

There is a Rick Sealock drawing on the wall above me, blaring joyously night and day. It is a multi-fingered jazz trumpeter, making musical magic to the accompaniment of birds, mayhem, and marks of explosive randomness. It’s a perfect embodiment of the creative process: order out of chaos and back again. Such is but a taste of what you will experience if you buy this book. And I strongly suggest that you do.
