A STRANGE LITTLE LOOK BEHIND THE ART

Unusual Subjects Vol. 1

You know that feeling when a sketch starts as a tiny weird idea and somehow turns into a whole character with opinions? Unusual Subjects Vol. 1 is full of that.

This 96-page full-color book takes you inside Anthony Wheeler’s creative process, with original artwork, sketches, character design, children’s book illustration, watercolor techniques, and commentary along the way.

It is part art book, part process journal, and part evidence that strange little ideas should absolutely be followed.

IT IS VERY… FULL OF WEIRD LITTLE IDEAS.

Inside Unusual Subjects Vol. 1, you’ll find original artwork, sketches, characters, illustration work, and creative experiments. Some ideas are polished, some are process-focused, and some look like they escaped from the corner of a sketchbook.

THE PERFECT SIZE FOR CREATIVE NOODLING.

At 6 x 9 inches, this book is easy to hold, flip through, collect, or keep nearby when your brain needs a little artistic jump-start. Big enough for full-color artwork, small enough to not take over your entire desk.

Chaotic Draw Along Prompt Cards

You might know that Chaotic Draw Along is all about drawing whatever comes up, even if it makes absolutely no sense.

Well, this book is the physical proof of that chaos.

We just want to make fun things that help folks reconnect with their imagination, even the really weird parts. Unusual Subjects Vol. 1 is a closer look at that process — the sketches, ideas, characters, experiments, and strange little choices that somehow turn into finished artwork.

You know, to help you remember not to take art too seriously... because sometimes the weird sketch you almost ignored is the one that becomes something special.

So, I guess we wanted to make a full-color little book that celebrates the strange ideas, happy accidents, and unusual characters that show up when you let your imagination wander a bit too far.

It’s all part of the same... family. Just... the slightly more thoughtful, sketch-covered cousin of the family. I hope that’s okay.
