Defective Comics

Comments Off on Defective ComicsIllustration

Defective Comics is a humorous side project put together by poster artists Olly Moss and Daniel Danger featuring your favorite caped crusader hanging out in unusual places. It’s a nice little trifecta of illustration, pop and satire.

Andrew Archer: Updates

Comments Off on Andrew Archer: UpdatesIllustration

Andrew Archer straddles the line between comic art and fine art but pulls it all off with a little digital panache. He’s posted several new works since I last dropped in on his portfolio and some of his more recent works are really stunning.

The German illustrator and designer known only as DXTR has made some recent additions to his street-inspired portfolio including some new illustrations for Nike and K2 snowboarding. Look closely at the image above and see if you can spot the word ‘Nike’. It’s in there. Great visual.

Super Punch: Best Marvel Covers

Comments Off on Super Punch: Best Marvel CoversIllustration

A blog I frequent from time to time recently posted it’s favorite Marvel Comics covers for August 2012. I’ve renewed my interest in comics lately since we are jumping back into the print/poster/illustration game quite a bit lately and I found some of the cover selections at Super Punch to be pretty inspirational for illustration’s sake. The cover above is ASTONISHING X-MEN #53 by DUSTIN WEAVER. Super Punch has the covers listed as ‘solicitations’ so I don’t know exactly what that means in terms of whether or not the covers actually made it to print or not but regardless there is some striking artwork on display.

Magomed Dovjenko: Updates

Comments Off on Magomed Dovjenko: UpdatesIllustration

Magomed Dovjenko is a designer and illustrator I’ve been following for several years now. He is one of those select few who learned to make a name for himself when he was still in his teens and is experiencing quite a bit of success as a commercial designer while still only being in his early twenties. He has since updated his site quite a bit since I last dropped in on his portfolio. His bright, colorful, poppy and pulp-infused work is always worth the inspirational browse.

Evgeny Parfenov

Comments Off on Evgeny ParfenovIllustration

Russian illustrator Evgeny Parfenov is turning out some excellent, colorful and classic portraits for publications like Newsweek, Rolling Stone and Interview. His work is a lot of fun and is just the right mix of pop and art to lend itself towards a broad appeal which is no doubt why he is attracting the publications he’s illustrating for.

Talk Seek

Comments Off on Talk SeekIllustration

There is a tongue and cheek kind of a thing happening in the portfolio of David Ryski AKA Talkseek whose father was a firefighter. His love of skateboarding, music and street art apparently diverted him from following in his father’s footsteps.

David DAndrea

Comments Off on David DAndreaIllustration

David D’Andrea’s work harkens back to a simpler and more intricate era of poster design gone by. He takes the time to craft some intricately detailed illustrations that make each poster he creates a genuine piece of art.

Bill Mund

Comments Off on Bill MundIllustration

Bill Mund is the kind of guy you feel like you know or at least kind of understand after surfing through his uniquely illustrated pop-inspired satirical take on culture and consumerism. It’s the kind of stuff that involves farting Brazilian butts, He-Man, Hugh Hefner and He-Man. If I ever had the opportunity I think I’d buy Bill Mund a beer and probably get totally ripped with the guy because he seems like he’d be a helluva lot of fun to do that with.

Daryl Feril

Comments Off on Daryl FerilIllustration

Daryl Feril is based in Bacolod City, Philippines where he hand renders some wonderful ink and watercolor illustrations inspired by flora and fauna. His self-initiated ‘brands in full bloom’ project integrates brands he felt worked with his specific style to communicate their ‘feminine mood yet still conserve the sophistication and identity of each brand’.

Shan Jiang Now at Shotopop

Comments Off on Shan Jiang Now at ShotopopIllustration

One of my favorite illustrators Shan Jiang, formerly of I Love Dust has since moved into a new partnership at Shotopop. His presence can be immediately felt on their recently updated website where they are now showcasing some of his best feats of illustration. He is no doubt a loss to I Love Dust and a powerful gain for Shotopop.
