That sound that you are hearing outside your window is the sound of all your neighbors’ heads simultaneously exploding because they arrived at this page a few minutes before you did, and they have already clicked the “more” button. Be careful, I suggest scrolling slowly when you get to the next page. These illustrations by Vasco Mourao incredible. The subject matter reminds me of Howl’s Moving Castle and I would love love love to see this work animated.
I came across illustrator Aleks Sennwald on The Lumper yesterday and found my way onto Sennwald’s blog where I spotted this great little drawing of Batman.
I am going to admit to you all now that I failed Red, which was the third level of swimming at the time. I don’t think they use a color system now, but I am sure they still require you to be able to stay above the water – or as those buoyant people like to call it “treading water”. I guess I should thank all my elementary school friends for having all of their birthday parties at the wave pool (a.k.a. Hell) because eventually I was able to teach myself to tread water.
I came across the work of Sam Green recently and despite my childhood of tsunami-like birthday parties, I found them to be quite beautiful. These are pencil on paper, folks. Real talent.
I’m going to invent a bunch of words to describe the work of James Gulliver Hancock. Fantastimagical. Collagenius. Inkredible. Ok, I’m done. Hancock also wins this week’s best artist name award.
If Illustration had its own Olympics (idea copyrighted by Jeff Hamada 2008) , Eamo Donnelly could certainly captain the Australians to Olympic gold. He uses good old-fashion inks, brushes and pencils to start and finishes digitally. Great work with a unique look.
I present the amazingly detailed illustrations of Aurel Schmidt. I need a large print of this peacock drawing, framed, on my wall, now!
