The Sunday Illust Are

Okay, time for a switch in styles of posts. The normal routine would be to have a long post which ended with some of the best in illustration around, but that's making for long ass reading, which as a blog surfer, I hate. Actually, let me go back to the purposes of this blog. While this started out as a compendium to a now-on-hiatus magazine, it's turned into providing a round-up of topics from around the web that would, in my opinion, be of interest to illustrators/designers. That's about it. But really, as far as I can tell, while Drawn covers all things drawn, including highlighting specific artists, it stays within it's bounds. Same goes for Juxtapoz, covering mostly the gallery scene. Lines and Colors does a very good job of delving into the history of illustration. All the rest on the blogroll all cover their topics in good quality. I'm just trying to put all these disparate sources together, with my own spin, as well as any other bit I find on the nets to pass on in one place.

So now, the new style is that weekends we're going to do a round-up of artists that interest, well, me, and leave all the other topics for other times. So let's have it:

Michael
Vasquez


found via URB Magazines "150 things we love right now" issue.

Frazer
Irving


Justin
Randall


Dave "the Reverand"
Johnson


Then Frazer Irving, Justin Randall, and Dave "The Reverend" Johnson, all found via Image Comics brilliant "24/7" short stort about robots living as humans do (though I've seen all their work, before, just happened to have noticed it here).
