A very brief introduction to Charley Harper, Cinncinati-based artist and king of style. If you’re unfamiliar with the man’s visual style, this short n’ sweet primer will whet your appetite. Todd Oldham wrote that “Charley’s inspired yet accurate color sense is undeniable, and when combined with the precision he exacts on rendering only the most important details, one is always left with a sense of awe.”
Well said. After you’re done with the video, check out the book.

i have this numbers and alphabet book in my classroom and they are the kids favorites!
Today, my art teacher was sent a bunch of prints, which, after reading this, I noticed were of a rather similar style to Mr. Harper’s work. Hoping to sound informed, I say Wow, these look a lot like Charley Harper. My art teacher turns to me and says I have no idea who that is, but these all seem to be by a Mr. C. Harper. Touché, art world.
