Am I the only one?

Does no one else think David Celsi/Chelsea is a fantastic artist, an entertaining writer, and not nearly recognized enough? Where's his output these days? Outside of comics? I can't even find a website for him.

If you're not familiar with Mr. Celsi, he wrote the excellent Perspective! for Comic Book Artists , which is remarkable in that it's one of those rare comic art instructional books that is A) useful and B) entertaining. Though you may take several passes on certain pages to figure out the relation from one panel to the next...occasionally a step falls between the panels.

He also wrote a neat autobiographical tale of NY life in the lean and mean '80s, when the Village was still a place artists went for cheap rent, called David Chelsea in Love, but good luck finding that, because I bought the last copy at Sarge's Comics, suckers. Mine had a different cover than this, though: blue with the author peering through the bars of a heart-shaped window.

Mind you, I'm biased, because he's the living inheritor of Winsor McCay's mantle. But come on, we need that. So David Celsi, where are you, and why aren't you doing more comic work? The last thing I saw from you was 24-Hour Comics All-Stars 2004.
