Beautiful creepy crawlies from beneath the sea await you at Ben Lawson’s portfolio site.
Illustrator Aleks Sennwald does a lot of kick-ass freelance work, but his drawings are something to stop and take a look at.
Okay, I’ve been feeling like a douche for doing a lot of re-posting lately. Things have been somewhat quiet on the magazine front since the launch. I’m gonna get off my ass and show you some good original stuff soon. Just you wait.
This week’s entry is a little bit biased. I’ve known some of the Featherproof guys and gals for a little bit and Mr. Zach Plague had a novel excerpt in issue #3 (which is on sale btw).
Amelia Gray’s first book, AM/PM, is a semi-connected collection of flash pieces, one per page, each of them packing a huge punch in each paragraph. My favorite so far is an entry that tells of a PDF file that is a symbol for love. Keep an eye on this book and this author. Both are poised for blow-up status.
The aforementioned Mr. Plague is responsible for the pen-and-paper cover drawing. Simple, effective, charming, interesting, and accessible. Well done Zach.
Check out Jersey-based renaissance woman Kristen Lepore. I could take or leave the illustrations, but her demo reel is something to be remembered.
Looks like Nordic illustrator Esra Roise’s site got a bit of a makeover. It also looks like she’s moving beyond the hyper-realistic pencil drawings she’s famous for and is moving into more collage and water-color type stuff. Exciting!
Irena is a hugely talented artist from the Ukraine. Go here to check out all her beautiful monsters.
If you don’t know anything about Raquel Aparicio then you should strongly consider checking yourself. We were lucky enough to have her contribute some work for the new issue (release date to be announced soon, btw) and it’s phenomenal. While searching for her web address I came across this:
I feel lucky to have met this person, if only through the internet.
This guy’s graphics and illustrations are good for a mid-afternoon chuckle/heartwarming.
