Ivy #1-3 by Sarah Oleksyk
Ivy #1-3
by Sarah Oleksyk
Self-Published
Sarah Oleksyk can be proud of herself. Through three chapters of Ivy, she continues to build strong characters, awful tensions, incredible realities, and consistently beautiful, full panels. Nothing gets skimped. It’s just a wholly good comic and I’m sure it will wrap up someday as a very satisfying [...]

Lucky Vol. 2 Issue 2
By Gabrielle Bell
Drawn & Quarterly
What makes your life so damned interesting? It’s one of those key questions that has steadily devolved into cliché, over the years, something that every artist flirting with autobiographical modes of expression must ask themselves, a question that will no doubt be repeated ad naseum with every [...]

Cory Godbey’s Ticket
Portland Studio’s Cory Godbey has recently released Ticket, a book about “…a girl, her hat, and the curious events which transpire” told through twenty-eight gorgeously embellished watercolor paintings. You can read a behind-the-scenes account of the project on Cory’s blog here and you can take a peek at some of the spreads by reading this [...]
Ryan in the YouTube Screening Room
You can watch a full-length, high-quality version of Ryan, Chris Landreth’s Oscar-winning animated short film from 2004, in the YouTube Screening Room. The film is an animated tribute to Ryan Larkin, who was one of the most influential animators of his generation.
You can also still watch The Danish Poet, Torill Kove’s Oscar-winning 2006 animated [...]
Douglas Jones
Douglas Jones’ portfolio seems geared to a mainstream corporate clientele but there are so many whiffs of vintage pop culture in it that I am really wondering what his sketchbooks contain. Or his bookshelves. I see bits of tattoos, Communist posters, classic wood engravings, folk art, Americana tourist attractions, advertising, and pre-war comic strips. He [...]
Mignon Khargie
I’m really enjoying these sparse geometric animal illustrations from Salon.com art director Mignon Khargie. The abstracted critters are clearly inspired by the work of Charley Harper, and their crisp digital simplicity complements the likeminded caricature work of Salon’s house portrait artist, Zach Trenholm.
You can purchase prints of the animals at Thumbtack Press
(Thanks, David!)

Australia: Stikman writes:
I’m proud to finally announce the launch of Midnight Morning, a limited and handcrafted publication showcasing a new and never-before-seen illustration series that I’ve developed alongside some of my favourite artists, Haline Ly
and Will Loeng.
THE LAUNCH
Midnight Morning will be launched with a concurrent show atRococo Productions’ warehouse exhibition space. For one night only, original artwork from the book will be displayed and will be available for sale alongside a selection of other new artwork, books and prints from the artists. All three artists will be in attendance on the night to meet fans, discuss their work and sign editions of the book.
THE BOOK
I’m very excited to show everyone this book, we’ve tried to make something really special and it’s easily my most well-presented work -
Hand-pressed dust-jacket cover
15 hand-bound mini-posters
280x280mm
325 gsm Brilliant Vellum stock
PRE-ORDER RESERVATIONS
Because of the limited and time-consuming nature of these books, we’re taking pre-orders to make sure everyone can reserve their copy.
Each pre-order receives Microscopium, booklet documenting the making of the series and featuring new artwork alongside, development sketches and insights from the artists. The first 30 pre-orders will also receive a copy of KLEFT design magazine, which explores the inspirations behind a range of designers’ works.

Comics! Games!
Comics! Games!:
In a bid to avoid getting any real work done or doing anything genuinely important or helpful, I’ve been playing about with my website a bit, adding some new stuff to the comics and design/animation pages - stuff that’s been lying around for a while but I just never got around to uploading. Until now.
So there’s a whole bunch of new/old strips in the Comics section, and a new (old) flash game in the design/animation section, featuring Li’l Hanuman and Kid Shiva from The Godlings.
Lots of procrastination fodder there. Enjoy.
