Tim Biskup's Jackson 500


Biskup has a new book out filled with tons of his business card size paintings. Apparently this is volume 2. How did I miss volume 1?

Herculoids Imagery


I've been thinking about "The Herculoids" recently. It was a much beloved cartoon that aired when I was but a lad. I found this quite accidentally today but it's pretty cool. I really like the slideshow of the sketchbook.

George McNeil

George McNeil (1908-1995) studied at the Pratt Institute, the Art Students League, the Hans Hoffmann School of Fine Arts and Columbia University. He was an original and indefatigable presence in the New York art community for decades. He earned awards and fellowships from the Ford Foundation, the National Council on the Arts and the Guggenheim. He has been collected by major museums, including MOMA, The Whitney Museum of American Art and The Walker Art Center.Carter Ratcliff said that "The imaginary realm of George McNeil's painting is one of the richest in contemporary art."

Frank Frazetta

Grew up on Frazetta's art. I have 3 volumes of his art books. I watched a DVD about him that I got out of the library called "Frank Frazetta: Painting with Fire." It's very interesting. If you're a fan, you should check it out. If you're not a fan, don't bother. He comes off quite arrogant at times.

Artist Trading Cards


Have you heard of this? Artists create cards that are 2.5 X 3.5 and trade them with one another. You cannot charge for them...you have to trade. That's pretty cool!

Mojizu


Billed as a "contemporary character design community." It's a forum for artists who design characters to show them off. Coming soon...MojiWar...where characters square off and the public votes for their favorite.

Requiem

Found out about this comic the other day called "Requiem." It's about vampires. I really like the artwork that I've seen. (There's a story printed in this months Heavy Metal magazine) I'm going to see if I can track down some more of this stuff.

Ryan Bubnis Show

They're having a showing of Ryan Bubnis' art at the Blue Bottle Gallery here in Seattle. It's a cool little space. I've actually sent some of my art in for consideration. Anywho...hope I can swing by sometime this month for some Bubnis!

Julian Beever

A friend of mine made me aware of this amazing artist. The illusion of 3-D is truly incredible. Check out his website by clicking on his name above for more samples of his work.

Kid Art

Isn't this amazing? The sheer roughness of it makes it beautiful. You go, Hazel!

Li'l Abner




Found this Li'l Abner panel on the net. That was a wonderful strip by a superb artist named Al Capp. Comic strips just don't have art like this anymore.

Comic Page

Idea: Take a typical page from a comic book, paste it down on cardboard and collage over everything but the white panel dividers and the word balloons.
