With some stories it is the art that arrives with you first; with some it is the words – neither of these is a bad thing, they just speak of different techniques perhaps, but with Invisible Inc from Brendan McGinley and Tomas Aira they’ve hit their stride from the first page and created a great [...]

I think I found Fernando Chamarelli using stumbleupon to browse Flickr so it was one of those wonderful fortuitous moments that occasionally lead us somewhere that we are going to enjoy visiting many times.
His profile describes the influence of Brazilian and Pre-Columbian art upon his work but as well as seeing that I see many [...]

This comic has a great feel from the start — an atmosphere that permeates from the establishing panels of the first installment right through to the current week’s episode. It has grit — the same kind of grit that pumped in the blood of those old pulp detective stories; the big heart and the situation [...]

Freakangels on full alert; well, most of them. I like that the gang are still maintaining their idiosyncratic paths in spite of the current threat to Whitechapel. Here we see the community working together; we see what the whole Freakangels set up is all about — or rather we are starting to see it. First [...]

It may strike some people as strange if I admit that I know very little about the artist himself and that I was never overly bothered to find out about him. In the same way that I can watch an actor’s films and never need to know who [...]

I actually think I became aware of Egon Schiele at the same time that I became aware of Gustav Klimt and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a common pairing. Stylistically you can definitely see some grounds for comparison in their work, though Schiele seems a lot less palatable to the majority than Klimt [...]

In one place someone settles in and in another place someone is unsettled. Sometimes it is hard to remember that each episode is only six pages long. To do what he does with those six pages every week shows just how on game Ellis; shows how on game Duffield is as well. At his recent [...]

Scouting around my flickr contact’s lists I happened across this character Mister Crimson and followed him here. He is an interesting character described thusly by his creator:
Mister Crimson is the story of a pulp-era superhero that has been abducted through time. Taken from the 1930s, and sent 200 years into the future he is forced [...]

I found Chip Zdarsky on twitter in the lists of more than a few people that were following him and have checked out a lot of his work recently and I am really getting into his style. So today I discovered the above strip on The Canadian National Post website (you can click through the [...]

Thankfully there are more and more entry points becoming available into different areas of the creative sphere — every single time you make one discovery there are a thousand more in attendance — all hyperlinked and convenient for you. To claim these days that you cannot find inspiration is a pretty lame thing to say. [...]
