Evan Levin

so i guess twitter is good for something else than just wasting a hell of a lot of time, because i found THIS DUDE there.
he’s pretty much the awesome-est. what’s better than gigantic oil paintings of strange dudes with peg legs and melted play dough faces?

nothing.

check his site out HERE, and make sure you check out his drawings section too, it’s pretty much kickass.

Charmaine Verhagen

I’m totally digging the drawings and doodles of Charmaine Verhagen. Check out her art blog and her flickr stream!

Ivan Ivanov-Vano

There’s something very magical and unique about Russian animation in general, and the work of Ivan Ivanov-Vano in particular. Inspired by classical opera, and utilizing two dimensional stop-motion animation, he created some incredibly stirring short films. He was also a big influence on (and mentor of) Yuri Norstein, another of my favorites.

this has nothing to do with art, but…

if kanye said it, it MUST be true

sweet moses

Look at all the pretty colours!

Whoops, Britt, your nationality is showing. Anyways, this is a little bit of a tangent, but I’m totally in love with this thing by the idée labs. It searches photos on flickr according to the colours you choose.

Ken Garduno

I’m really fond of Ken Garduno’s illustrations. The way he draws hair is simply brilliant! He’s got loads of great stuff on flickr too.

Josh J. Holinaty

I’d like to draw your attention to the work of Canada’s Josh J. Holinaty. Holy jeez wow my gosh, this stuff is great.

Indi

I love the disturbingly brilliant work of Moscow based illustrator Uno Moralez aka Stas Orlov aka Indi (I’m not actually certain which is his real name, if any of them).

INTERVIEW: Jeremy Sorese

For any readers that don’t know, can you tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do?

My name is Jeremy Sorese and I am gearing up to be a senior in college come this fall. After that, I’m not quite sure what I’ll be.

Jan’s Atomic Heart

Jan’s Atomic Heart is easily one of the best new graphic novels I’ve read so far this year. It’s refreshingly short, simple and imaginative. I eagerly look forward to more great comics from Simon Roy. Read a little more about the book over on the New Reliable Press website. they’ve even got a 22 page preview up for you to peek at.
