And what does the Council of Cartoonists have to say…

Its rare there’s a new story SO big that I’m reminded that political cartoons still exist. My regular news websites like CNN, ABC,  NYTimes, rarely show are cartoons, and out-of-sight, out-of-mind, so I can go months without stumbling across a great political or editorial cartoon. Well today, for the first time in a while, I [...]

A pirated version of Wolverine that Fox won’t mind…

Remember Jeff Agala’s blog from a few posts back, he did this awesome cute version of Wolverine. Well here’s an awesomely uncute version. ..
I also found from checking in with Jeff blog, a link to a video game project he’s into. Check it out at ShankGame.com

Drawing Day (or D-Day) Has Begun!!!

The annual Drawing Day is upon us!  Never heard of it? Well here’s the skinny from the source, DrawingDay.org …

What is Drawing Day?
One day a year, the world stops to remember that joy we had when we first picked up a pencil and created our first piece of art – that’s what Drawing Day is [...]

Excellent Flash Portfolio Site…

Check out Steve Bergeron very well done portfolio site, StudioSteveBergeron.com . In particular, I love how his opening page has two choices for viewing his portfolio by style: cartoony or technical basically… or fun vs serious. And each choice has a very cool rollover, which are equally enticing, so you definitely feel like after viewing one [...]

Fellow bloggareno Rob has a “published” article…

Give a read over at http://www.examiner.com/x-10198-Portland-Cartoons-Examiner~y2009m5d7-Cartoons-arent-just-for-kids … Rob’s ongoing theme for articles at the Examiner will be cartoon related. =)

AD BOY!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve mentioned before on the blog I’m kind of a junkie for art books. For example,  I have “The Art of…” books for Pixar movies that I haven’t even seen.  But among 200 or so books, I have about 3 that actually get to sit on the desk with me, and Meet Mr. Product is [...]

Artist Profile: Arthur de Pins

This dude has style! Arthur de Pins is easily one of the best character designers I’ve seen in a while. Everybody feels like somebody. And every scene feels like a scene.  If that makes sense.
He’s got an interesting Flash site too. Floaty, would be how I’d describe it. Check out each of the main sections, [...]

Arteests makes Tv even more awesome…

…unless all the art below sucks. You decide, while checking out WAY more than just what’s below at http://idiotbox88.blogspot.com/ …there’s easily a hundred TV inspired pieces of…(art?) 
 

Artist Profile: Juergen Frey and his thoughts on Flash CS4’s IK

Is it fair to call someone the best Flash animator in all of Germany if I’m only familiar with one?… Uh sure. Juergen Frey takes the top spot in my opinion. If you haven’t seen his not-so-short film about the release of Halo 3, check it out. Its incredibly well-animated (all in Flash too), creatively [...]

Some very fine art by Kim Keever

Its rare we see some real “arteests” here at the CS blog, but I couldn’t pass by Kim Keever’s work and not want to show it off.  Here’s a bio taken from elsewhere, and give it a quick read so the bottom two pics make more sense… 
Kim Keever’s large-scale photographs are created by meticulously constructing [...]
